Abstract: This article presents the application “No$$o Dinheiro”, which aims to encourage the practice of financial education in elementary school, through a serious game that uses gamification techniques to foster the engagement and development of students' logical reasoning. We organize the application into two parts: one for students, in which they carry out recreational activities to understand the Brazilian monetary system, simulating buying situations and mathematical calculations with our currency - the Real; and the other part for teachers, in which it is possible to manage and monitor the individual learning of the classes or students. For the development of the study, bibliographic and action research were carried out, the latter being conducted with 18 students of fundamental level. The application was evaluated in order to delineate an age profile of students and their previous experiences with games, as well as usability and experience to interact with the application described herein. We pointed out as the main result that the game contributed to the learning of the contents of the discipline in which it was applied, as the participating students point out, because they were able to identify the elements of the Brazilian monetary system and perform some of the mathematics basic operations. It is hoped that with the application it will be possible to spread and strengthen the knowledge of the Brazilian monetary system among elementary school children, demonstrating the importance of the concepts of mathematics in their daily lives.
