The work entitled "Memórias do Ensino da Matemática no Grupo Escolar Dom Romualdo de Seixas – Cametá/PA (1960-1970)" aims to investigate and understand the memory of educational practices in teaching mathematics in the early years of schooling in the School named Dom Romualdo Seixas (GEDRS), the period of about twenty years, between the 1960s and 1970s. To this end, I had to understand the process of implementation of school groups, identify and select the practice of teaching records; and, finally, discriminate and define the profile of the teachers who taught mathematics from 1960 to 1970. The research followed an approach based on cultural history with emphasis on the history of institutions and history of school subjects. Accordingly interviews were conducted with teachers and students of the initial series, currently named first cycle of elementary school, who experienced the GEDRS routines in the period surveyed. Other sources also collaborated, e.g., literature review, official documents, articles, etc. The results shows that some teaching methodologies like the insertion of textbooks in schools were not adopted due to a set of reasons, e.g., GEDRS was not favored by new policies or it was a authority neglecting regarding the search for improvement and adaptation of teaching.
