Resumo: This article focuses on the narrative of Humberto de Campos in his first volume of memoirs (1886-1900) with regard to the education of the author. The first section emphasizes the importance of autobiographical writing for research in History of Education, and especially in History of Mathematics Education. The second section is a brief presentation of Humberto de Campos as a Brazilian writer. The next part discusses the theoretical and methodological foundations adopted for the use of autobiographical sources in research. The core of the text consists of the approach of the main school experiences narrated by Humberto de Campos in Parnaíba, in the interior of the state of Piauí, in the 1890s, highlighting practices that involve mathematical knowledge. The writer’s school memories emphasize the material precariousness of elementary education, the simultaneous teaching of many students of different levels in schools managed by a single teacher and the teaching methods based on repetition and memorization and supported in practices of punishment and humiliation of students.

Inicialmente, se enfatiza la importancia de la escritura autobiográfica para la investigación en Historia de la Educación, y especialmente para la historia de la educación matemática. Enseguida, se presenta al autor, ubicándolo en el escenario de la literatura brasileña, y se trata sobre los fundamentos teórico-metodológicos adoptados en la investigación con fuentes memorialísticas. El núcleo del texto es compuesto por el abordaje de las principales experiencias escolares narradas por Humberto de Campos en la ciudad de Parnaíba, en el interior de Piauí-Brasil, en la década de 1890, con destaque para prácticas que envuelven conocimientos matemáticos. Los recuerdos escolares registrados en la obra del escritor marañense resaltan la precariedad material de la educación básica, la enseñanza de muchos alumnos de diferentes niveles en escuelas de solo un profesor y los métodos de enseñanza, basados en la repetición y memorización; y apoyados en prácticas punitivas de castigos y humillaciones de los estudiantes. Este artigo focaliza a narrativa de Humberto de Campos em seu primeiro volume de memórias (1886-1900) no que se refere à educação escolar do autor.
