Abstract
The present work aims at elaborating an experience report of a university extension course, which took place in 2011, with undergraduate students of the Accounting and Administration courses of the Federal University of Rondonia – Vilhena – Campus. The course aimed to present the Financial Mathematics tools, besides to discuss how and what mathematical elements could be used for making the decision to buy or not a particular product. In the course, questions that customers face in shops and/or supermarkets were explored. The questions were within the model of the learning environments proposed by Skovsmose (2008), related to the scenarios of investigation. The results showed that the course participants, when in the role of consumers, needed to apply many mathematical elements in a short period of time in order to decide for the purchase of a certain product.
