This paper aims to address the theme of violence present in the reality in which students from a municipal school in the city of Campinas are inserted. For this, the 9th grade class conducted data collection based on interviews with the other classes of the school that studied in the afternoon. After collection, they tabulated data for each room individually, through personal records and construction of graphs about each question. After completing the individual graphs, the total numbers of each question were collectively generated, with a table and graph. The students were surprised by the indexes stamped, as if they did not feel they belonged to that reality, however, when analyzing the information collected and represented in the form of a graph, they read, making inferences about it, bringing facts from the reality experienced by them, that supported the results. The complete work was exhibited at the “Mostra Cultural” event. After the event, the posters were fixed on the walls of the 9th grade classroom and were used by professionals in other areas for reading, interpreting explicit and implicit information, reading beyond the data. This work enabled students to read the data presented in the Atlas of Violence (2019) and visualize the theme at the state level; and, after applying questionnaires, they were able to see how much violence is present in their lives and in the lives of their colleagues and how it interferes in their decisions.
