Sumario:This research explores the importance of developing Financial Literacy and its approach in an elementary school mathematics textbook, highlighting the need to prepare young people to deal with financial issues in their daily lives. In order to analyze the approach to Financial Literacy in a textbook and guiding educational documents, we carried out an exploratory qualitative study. We used the concepts presented by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and other authors who address Financial Literacy and mathematics education. Thus, based on Bardin's (2016) analysis, it is clear that the textbook analyzed presents some necessary tools for approaching and developing Financial Literacy, contributing with topics throughout its chapters that identify essential skills, such as making conscious financial decisions and economic planning. However, it still needs some improvements, as well as a broader approach to the concepts of Financial Education, both in the content of Financial Mathematics and in the other contents. We conclude that the book is suitable for developing Financial Literacy in its topics related to Financial Education.
