Financial Applications, Financial Mathematics, High School
It is known that financial mathematics is one of the areas of mathematics with the greatest applicability and relevance in the daily life of the entire population. Therefore, this article aims to present a brief theoretical context and carry out a statistical survey aimed at measuring the knowledge and attitudes of high school and elementary school students from some public and private schools in Coqueiral and Varginha, southern Minas Gerais. The field study methodology was used through the application of questionnaires, through Google Forms from which the presented data came. The results point to a limited understanding of students in relation to their knowledge of financial mathematics, reinforcing the need to turn our attention to this area of mathematics that is often worked only mechanically, without contextualized involvement.
