In this research we seek to understand the contributions of the production of financial mathematics videos to the VI Digital Video Festival and Mathematics Education. To this end, we chose to produce digital videos addressing Financial Mathematics, with the students of the 1st year "B" class, from the Padre Arlindo Ignácio de Oliveira State School, in Campo Novo do Parecis - MT. This project has the financial support of the Research Support Foundation of the State of Mato Grosso (FAPEMAT). The question that directs the research is: "how do the videos produced, with the theme financial mathematics, for the VI Festival of Digital Videos and Mathematics Education contribute to the learning of the students involved?" The main source of data is the process of producing mathematical digital videos by high school students with the use of digital technologies and the participation of these videos in the VI Digital Video festival and Mathematics Education. The theoretical basis is based on the research that is based on the production of videos, namely, Theory of Activity, based on the ideas of Engeströn (1987), Human-Human-With-Media System, initially proposed by Souto (2013), and Constructing Human Beings-With-Media, by Borba and Villarreal (2005) which highlights the role of media in the production of knowledge, based on the Theory of Activity. The work adopts the qualitative methodology, which allows us to understand the entire process of data production and perceive the mathematical and knowledge production to the student involved. For data analysis, we used the minicyclones of expansive transformations, from Souto (2013). We finished the data analysis of group 01 and presented a previous analysis of the other groups, in which there were some moments of tension when they had to agree on the content to be addressed in the video, as well as in relation to the application to be used for editing. We observed that group 01 entered into a minicyclone of expansive transformation, which began, two rotational and final movements highlighted. What generated more and greater tensions during the production of the video was related to the realization of mathematical calculations, which differs from other studies, where students demonstrated greater difficulties in relation to the use of digital technology. The data indicate that the production of financial mathematics videos, provided opportunities for learning moments not experienced until then by the students, they could think of mathematics with digital technologies, leading to the understanding of the contents.
