Abstract: In this study, we approach Mathematical Modeling from a socio-critical perspective. Our aim was to achieve reflection and criticality in discussions about prostate cancer in the context of the Blue November campaign, which started in November 2011, hapenning every year from then and is dedicated to raising awareness about prostate cancer. Since Brazillian culture is still imbued with sexual prejudices, we think it is important to have, in our schools, talks about the taboo related to prostate cancer and the diagnostic tests to check a man prostate condition, especially in the case of the rectal examination. To this end, we conducted a qualitative, empirical study with 30 eighth-grade elementary school students in a school located in the city of Salinópolis, state of Pará, northern region of Brazil. As results, we highlight interdisciplinary, social, health and education debates that addressed behavioral issues, awareness, information and statistical literacy through reading, discussion and analysis of the mathematical models involved in the unfolding of the proposal.
