In this text are presented results of a research whose objective was to identify indications of appropriations of theories of Edward Lee Thorndike for the teaching of elementary mathematical knowledge in pedagogical journals that circulated in Brazil between 1920 and 1960. For this, pedagogical journal that circulated at the time were examined, for example, Revista do Ensino, Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos and Revista do Ensino. The theoretical contribution came from the use of Thorndike works, such as: The Principles of Teaching Based on Psychology (1905), The Thorndike Arithmetics (1917), The new methods in Arithmetic (1921) and The Psychology of Arithmetic (1922). As a result, it was possible to verify that Thorndike's theories began to be appropriated through Brazilian pedagogical journals from references to works such as The Thorndike Arithmetics (1917) and The Psychology of Arithmetic (1922), cited respectively in the Revista do Ensino, 1930, state of Minas Gerais, and by Murgel (1929), whose dates precede the publication of the work translated A Nova Metodologia da Aritmética, 1936. The authors of the articles made interpretations and uses of aspects for the teaching of elementary mathematical knowledge, in relation, mainly, to aspects of problem solving and tests, to criticize the problems with fanciful statements that would be difficult for students to see in a real situation, and ways to arouse student interest, by working the reasoning and the habit formation through by controlling time for to learning and monitoring of school development. Such identifications were associated to the orientations for teachers at the time of the chronological limit of this research. Thus, it was possible to affirm that there was appropriation of theories of Edward Lee Thorndike in the pedagogical journals that circulated between 1920 and 1960 in Brazil.
