The questionnaire was answered by 25 people in March, applied through Google Forms and manually. In addition to the questionnaires, two didactic works adopted in the municipalities of Rio Tinto and Mamanguape were analyzed, and a didactic sequence was proposed that is aligned with the responses from the questionnaires and can complement one of the didactic books that address the content of Financial Mathematics. Then, the elaborated didactic sequence was analyzed, and possible variations were shown to which the sequence can be subjected. As a contribution, this research promotes debate within the academic community about the need to update readers, organs, and institutions that collect, produce, or consume reflections on Financial Education and local reality.
