Abstract

The present work aims to develop a Didactic Sequence that discusses concepts of Financial Education for a 6th grade class of Elementary School in a public school in the municipality of Cuitegi, Paraíba. This was based on the National Curricular Common Base - BNCC (BRASIL, 2017), by the National Curricular Parameters - PCN (BRASIL, 1998) and other authors who discuss the theme. The research was structured in three parts, diagnosis, elaboration and execution of a Didactic Sequence and discussion of the results. The methodology used is characterized by being an exploratory study of an action-research character, carried out at the beginning of the 2022 school year with 39 students in a class of the 6th year of Elementary School. When carrying out the first stage of the study, the diagnosis, it was proven, in the analysis of the results, that the participants have considerable knowledge about Financial Education and demonstrate, despite their young age, an awareness of the importance of financial planning to manage money. correctly. Then, we developed and applied a Didactic Sequence aimed at discussing the importance of money, the need to save for future planning, percentage and discount. In this context, we conclude that Financial Education at school is important for the maturing of the theme, and it is necessary to raise debates to strengthen the mathematical knowledge already acquired, such as operations and consolidation of others, such as percentage and discounts, contributing to adequate planning, financial organization and economics that involve students. The study was expanded at school with the aim of contemplating the families of the students, when the students became multipliers of knowledge in their homes, in addition to taking the proposal of discussion of the theme to all school years of this educational institution, being inserted in the Curriculum Proposal of the school by the faculty, pedagogical team and management team of the school, seeking to generate and strengthen a financial and economic awareness capable of making them better managers of their financial resources in a responsible way.
