GOMEZ-MULETT, Alfonso Segundo. Mathematical Catechisms in the United States of Colombia (1863-1886). Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.1, pp.166-184. Epub 08-Out-2023. ISSN 1657-8031. https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.6142.
The educational ideal in the United States of Colombia was to implement the innovations of the European pedagogues of the time: Pestalozzi, Froebel, and Herbart, according to whom learning was achieved through experimentation and contact with nature. The elementary school taught the mastery of language for reading and writing; mathematics provided the knowledge of operations with numbers, to solve daily-life practical problems and commercial activities with the mastery of weights and measures. By taking these reasons into account, it can be said that mathematical catechisms were adapted to these requirements in terms of the subject matter.
