THE PROJECT OF MODERNIZATION OF THE MATHEMATICAL INITIATION IN PRIMARY SCHOOL AS CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT (1965-1973)

This poster refers to an ongoing research centered in a project of curriculum development in Mathematics, in Primary School (Project of Modernization of the Mathematical Initiation in Primary School, developed by the Educational Research Centre, of the Gulbenkian Foundation). This research intends to contribute to the knowledge of the evolution of mathematics teaching in primary schools, particularly the influence of "Modern Mathematics Movement" on curricular development and production of didactical material. This poster focuses on two aspects of the research: 1) a chronology of the project of Modernization of the Mathematical Initiation in Primary School; 2) a description of the documents produced for the 2nd grade according to the project's scope, referring to mathematical subjects, the number of sessions dedicated to each subject, and a focus on the subject most worked (multiplication).
