This work was oriented by the guiding question: What will be the results obtained with teenage students from a private school, after the insertion of knowledge, through activities and discussions on Financial Education and Entrepreneurship during High School? It was theoretically and methodologically based on Ole Skovsmose, a Danish author and a scholar in Critical Mathematics Education; in Paulo Freire's Critical Pedagogy and in Gustavo Cerbasi with his Financial Intelligence.
