Abstract

The objective is to understand the role of games for arithmetic teaching in the pedagogical handbook ‘Didática da 1ª série’ written by Amaral Fontoura in 1958. The analyzes use contributions from cultural history (CHARTIER, 2010) as a source of research (VALENTE, 2008), in addition to other contributions in the history of mathematical education. Fontoura was an important author, mainly in disseminating the Escola Nova assumptions through his handbooks. Fontoura repeatedly mentions Lourenço Filho's ABC tests, centers of interest, the importance of motivation and competition. And all these aspects can be achieved, according to the author, with the use of games.
