- Abstract
This paper intends to show that, in the 19th century, the appropriation of the decimal metric system by the teachers could happen through arithmetical textbooks before the official recognition of the new weights and measures in Brazil on June 26, 1862. José Joaquim D'Avila attends as one of the defenders of the adoption of the decimal metric system in our country, evidencing his position in one of his books published in 1856. The author highlights the advantages and means of the French system, in a conjugation of efforts to join other followers and defenders of the Decimal System of Weights and Measures. Thus, he would also have clearly a political role.
