This essay presents the results of a dissertation on History of Mathematics Education, aimed to study the historical aspects of arithmetic teaching in the context of the primary schools during intuitive pedagogy in Mato Grosso. The methodological contribution considered the treatises between Michel de Certeau’s historiographical operation and the teachings of the movements of the historian's craft in terms of scientific practices to constitute a history. The documents analysed deal with the narratives produced by the school institutions deposited in the public archives of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. Many of those sources were developed in reports by historical characters of Mato Grosso instruction, configured by the institutional representative, i.e., the school director, which in this way enabled us to understand the historical meanings of the arithmetic teaching in the period considered. The analyses helped us identify a consolidated implementation of the intuitive method to teach the disciplinary contents of arithmetic, thus advocating the modernization of ways of teaching, through the circulation and appropriation of books, teaching materials, regulations, and pedagogical ideas linked to the intuitive teaching.
