A importância da educação financeira e aplicações da matemática financeira no ensino fundamental

Abstract

Financial education is a broad and less complex subject than it appears to be. It goes beyond calculations and numbers, it focuses on the value that each has. It is common to see children today, who usually receive a monthly amount to buy something they want, a value that is commonly called an allowance. The allowance is a good example for us to start explaining to a child the value of that money and getting used to spending that capital better. It is very important that this practice is presented as a while child or adolescent, as it is when you discover the value of money; it will be where she will associate financial mathematics with financial education. They will feel in practice the responsibility to deal with their money, what happens when you save to have more in the future, or how to spend less to enjoy the value plus a profit in the end, even before studying percentage, simple and compound interest.
