The present research aims to rate what is the contribution of the methodology of mathematical investigation for undergraduate nursing students to learn how to use mathematic calculation on drug administration. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the ways chosen by the students to get to the results and recognize their major difficulties. The participants of this research were 20 students of a Community Institute of Higher Education from Santa Maria – RS. This research was prompted by articles about drug administration as one of the major causes of death, overcoming breast cancer and AIDS and also biased to propose a methodology which allows the students learning based on a comprehensive search about the problems in addition of drugs. The research has qualitative approach, the researcher participates in every stage of the research and the data collection instruments used were the participant observation, class record book and the analysis of documents produced by the students. Photographs and videos were also carried out, so we could describe with greater accuracy the development of the activities. During the research, four activities were developed, following the steps of the mathematical investigation. Throughout the investigation, the students dialogued and developed the activities following the steps of the mathematical investigation, ending the activities with the exhibition of the results obtained by each group. The results of the activities ended up giving emphasis to the researches which bring the drug administration as one of the major causes of death. However, we analyzed that the methodology of mathematical investigation was beneficial on the development of the activities, because it allowed the students to express their knowledge, opinions and questions.
