The present work is a research on the approach of Financial Mathematics in High School, considering its relevance in the formation of citizens, considering the following question: Does the teaching of Financial Mathematics in High School contribute to the formation of citizens? The choice of this theme was due to the considering that Financial Mathematics can directly contribute to the formation of citizens, as it is essential in people's daily lives, due to its concepts and applications. The general objective is to understand how the teaching of Financial Mathematics in High School can contribute to the formation of citizens so that they can be critical and aware of good financial administration. In this work, we emphasize Financial Mathematics from the perspective of the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (Law nº 9.394/96), of the Common National Curriculum Base (2018), and High School Mathematics textbooks and in a complementary way, were surveys of bibliographical references on Financial Mathematics were also used. We also analyzed the approach to this subject in some high school mathematics textbooks, used as instruments for data collection, in order to verify the approach to Financial Mathematics. Finally, based on the observations made in documents, articles and books, it is concluded that Financial Mathematics must be worked in a contextualized way with the student's reality, with the objective of obtaining effective teaching, capable of contributing to the formation of citizens before their actions in the midst of finance
