Abstract

This article discusses results from research developed on the transformations in mathematics teaching in primary school and the mathematics in teacher training from the 19^th century to the mid-20^th century in Brazil. We have analyzed the understanding of the relationship between the mathematical disciplinary field and pedagogy in order to confirm the theoretical hypothesis that the interactions between the two fields produce mathematics of different natures, which are interconnected.
