We propose in this paper activities and a discussion of the experience obtained with a workshop on Coloring Maps and Graphs for students of elementary and high school in São Jose do Rio Preto/SP. The idea of presenting this topic for students of these school levels was motivated mainly by the work of Jurkiewicz (2002, 2004) that, since 2002, has offered to bring additional knowledge of Discrete Mathematics (mostly graph theory) for students of public high school in Rio de Janeiro. The proposed workshops were very productive and allowed the analysis of students behavior when faced with extracurricular topics. The presentation of extra Discrete Mathematics topics at this level of study is important not only to motivate future studies but also to train citizens to be able to understand the complexities of today's world.
