Educação financeira na educação básica: uma proposta de atividades sobre empreendedorismo e orçamento familiar

Abstract

This paper addresses the relevance of teaching of financial education as a transversal theme of the curricular component of Mathematics. Based on the knowledge and perception of students from a public school in respect of financial education, the need to include this topic in the classroom was identified. Thus, this work aims to address and discuss the teaching of financial education to students in the 9th year of Elementary School and the 1st year of High School in a public school located in the municipality of Divino, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, through didactic proposals that aim to contribute to financial literacy. Considering that, in the present or in the near future, students will be in contact with financial situations that will impact their personal and family lives, the school environment can be favorable to the development of skills related to financial education, so instructing them to consciously deal with these situations is relevant. In order to meet this, in this work, didactic proposals were elaborated in which the theme was presented in an integrated way to the contents of financial mathematics, in addition to practical activities that associate theoretical knowledge with the students’ experience. It is intended to describe the proposals developed so that other professionals can use them in their student practices.
