Educação financeira em livros didáticos de matemática dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental: um estudo da coleção Bem-Me-Quer

Abstract

The objective of the work is to analyze activities addressing financial education in the elementary school mathematics textbooks of the "Bem-Me-Quer" collection, approved by the National Textbook Program (PNLD/2023). It is methodologically characterized by a qualitative research approach with quantitative elements, based on the documentary analysis of financial education activities in two categories: direct and indirect questions. It presents both the general characterization of textbooks from the 1st to the 5th grade and analyses related to financial concepts present in the collection's activities and their alignment with the skills indicated in the National Common Core Curriculum. The main results highlight a significant presence of 176 questions related to financial education, across various sections, with a prevalence of indirect questions over direct ones, indicating a scarcity of activities that have the central purpose of introducing financial and economic concepts. Given the relevance of the subject for students' education, there is a need to promote continuous work with financial concepts and the development of critical thinking regarding finance through textbook activities in all elementary school grades.
