Among all the subjects taught to high school, financial mathematics deserves great attention because after graduation and throughout the rest of their lives, students will have to deal with money, household budget, take credit from a financial institution, use the credit card and current account limit, in addition to making investments to save for retirement. This theme is important in regular high school and even more important when working with Youth and Adult Education (EJA). Most EJA students are already in the job market and have financial responsibilities within the family. In view of the need informed above, the objective of this dissertation is to propose to the mathematics teachers of EJA high school a teaching plan that goes beyond memorized formulas, exercises and calculator; The proposal is a constructive and dialogued teaching, showing where the formulas come from and how each stage of this knowledge is practical and important for the student. As a result, this work is available to fellow teachers to support their lesson plans in order to promote a more meaningful teaching for EJA students. The demonstrations are simple and can, with good preparation, be presented in expository classes with their respective students. Therefore, the good use of the suggestions of this work contributes to the development of the understanding of financial mathematics of EJA high school students. This, in turn, promotes a balanced household budget, reduces household indebtedness, and provides citizenship for students and their families
