Some of the issues faced in initial training courses for maths teachers are related to pedagogical training, the institutional field and the curricular field of the courses. One of these impasses is the relationship between maths teaching and the development of competences for the exercise of citizenship. With this in mind, by adopting an analytical research approach of a phenomenological nature, the study was outlined by the research question: What is revealed about the inclusion of the subject of Financial Mathematics in the degree courses in Mathematics at the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology in the southern region of Brazil? In this sense, some aspects emerged in the investigation: intra-institutionality and its relationship to the inclusion of the subject of Financial Mathematics; the design of the curricular matrix of the courses depending on public policies; the failure to establish the relationship between Financial Mathematics and Financial Education, signalling the financial literacy of teachers; among others. In this direction, the research points to proposals that contribute to improving citizens’ understanding of financial literacy.
