A tese intitulada O ensino da Matemática nas escolas evangélicas luteranas do Rio Grande do Sul durante a primeira metade do século XX, escrita por Malcus Cassiano Kuhn, é composta por cinco capítulos. Além do resumo, lista de figuras, introdução, apontamentos reflexivos, desdobramentos futuros e referências que também compõem o trabalho. A pesquisa é uma historiografia sobre o ensino da Matemática local com enfoque global, cujas potencialidades históricas fazem emergir os métodos de ensino da Matemática praticados na região sul, mas que fortemente caracterizam as influências desses métodos em todo o país, bem como suas implicações na constituição de uma cultura professoral relacionada à Matemática abordada na pesquisa.

A prática da tabuada nas escolas paroquiais luteranas gaúchas do século XX AbstractThe article discusses the practice of operations tables in the Lutheran parochial schools of the 20 th century in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, through the study of the arithmetic of the Order and Progress series and of the Concordia series, edited by the Lutheran Church for their parochial schools in the first half of the past century. In 1900, the Missouri Synod, today Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil, began mission in gaucho German colonies, founding religious congregations and parochial schools. These schools were included in a missionary and community project that sought to teach the mother tongue, mathematics, cultural, social and especially religious values. Basing on historical research, it verified the presence of small operations tables on the editions of the First Arithmetic, with the presentation of practical Malcus Cassiano Kuhn, Arno Bayer 754 rules to decorate the same, exercises with concretes elements and the development of the multiplication as a sum of equal installments. In the other editions, the small operations tables is resumed, observing exercises that advance until the multiplication table of 19, beyond of operations tables with Roman numerals and fractions. Even that these arithmetic have been edited in a period marked by the movement of the New School in Brazil and, that some activities to study the operations tables are grounded in intuitive method, they still reflect the pedagogical tradition of memorizing the operations tables.
