Sistemas de amortização na Educação básica

Abstract

The population in general is unaware of how financial transactions such as loans, financing or conditions of sale work, especially in this period, in which most of the population is buying their own home and or new or used car through bank financing. Our proposal is to work with the systems of amortization in the classroom, specifically in high school, thus clarifying for the student who will be the future citizens which is the best option for buying and selling among other financial transactions. To better understand this situation an activity was held at the public school in the interior of Alagoas, in the city of Feira Grande, in the State School Manoel Leandro de Lira, a class of 2nd year of high school. Taking advantage of the subject of financial mathematics, definitions of amortization systems were applied and in sequence the performing of some activities related to the topic. The amortization systems knowledge is not so common to find in textbooks, therefore, an interview with a banking expert and employee of the Bank of Brazil was held in addition to other investigations with the work performed by Ernesto Coutinho Piccini in the Brazil Open University system. The paper proposes the use of mathematics to the formation of a citizen more aware and critical of their formation not only to have knowledge of certain subject, but to have the ability to make decisions regarding their personal and professional life.
