Um recorte acerca da escassez de conteúdo sobre matemática financeira nos livros didáticos do ensino médio da cidade de Santa Tereza de Goiás

Abstract

This research aims to highlight the importance of financial mathematics in high school textbooks, therefore, 3 textbooks made available by Colégio Estadual Dr. Marco Aurélio, located in the city of Santa Tereza de Goiás, were analyzed. The textbooks that were analyzed are of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of high school. Financial Education is a relevant topic for society and the school has a completely relevant role to play in the financial training of students. Mathematics – as an educational content, and specifically Financial Mathematics, cannot continue to be decontextualized from the reality of students today as it has been. Therefore, this article aims to recognize the importance of Financial Mathematics and use everyday situations for study and application. Contextualized financial mathematics makes the student more interested in classes and thus learns more easily. Thus, this research relies on theories and ideas, as well as suggestions and situations experienced by authors who will be cited throughout the research that fully support its theoretical framework.
