This study is inserted in the field of Mathematics Education, specifically within the Mathematics teachers education in the perspective of Inclusive Education. Its aim is to analyze the engagement of Mathematics majors while developing and implementing investigative projects related to the theme Inclusion. The research question was the following: What comprehensions can be produced from the work with projects addressing the Inclusive Education in the pre-service Mathematics teachers' education? The research was based on a qualitative approach and the data was collected in the context of two courses, in different and subsequent moments, both of them part of the Teaching degree in Mathematics curriculum, in a public university in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. In these courses, we had project work, in which students, divided into small groups, studied, developed and implemented investigative projects. Therefore, the analyzed data consist of expressions of the undergraduate students, both individually and in group, and the researcher's field notes. To guide the data analysis, we had, as a base, some procedures of Content Analysis, from the perspective of the theory of project approach, regarding Inclusive Education and Teachers Training. The study made it possible for the Mathematics majors to have autonomy on the construction of their own knowledge, participating actively in the developed activities, creating a reflective and investigative attitude. The students explored and questioned their previous knowledge, ideologies, interpretations, and practices, challenging assumptions and proposing problems. The investigative projects that were developed promoted learning about the theme inclusion and also an understanding of aspects related to the teaching and learning of Mathematics for students with Special Educational Needs, developing a critical attitude regarding inclusive education
