This article aims to describe the partial results of a research that focuses on Problem Solving. From the development of an activity with students in initial teacher training, it was tried to establish a connection between the ideas of Realistic Mathematical Education-EMR, the Problem Solving methodology and Financial Education. The problem situations, built according to the principles of the EMR, are focused on the construction of concepts relating to financial rates, percentage, geometric progressions and the fundamental ideas that promote the articulation between them, such as comparison, variation and equivalence. The study made, allowed to identify that the proposition of a problem situations, according to the principles of the EMR, favored the creation of new problems, new conjectures, the establishment of connections between mathematical contents and the social reality that benefited the understanding of Mathematics.
