This dissertation describes a study that aimed to establish an understanding of the engagement of deaf children in proposed landscapes of investigation. For this, were made landscapes of investigation using simulation softwares related Activities Practice Life. We sought to investigate whether the environment in which the investigation was carried out makes room for discussions about mathematics and how mathematics can contribute to the autonomy and social inclusion of people with disabilities, focusing on deaf people. The group of participants consisted of deaf children attending a rehabilitation institution that provides care to people with disabilities, having as one of the main goals the social inclusion. These children were aged between seven and nine and they had different command of Brazilian sign language. The work strategy followed the molds qualitative research in mathematics education, with recorded observations in a diary, filming and interview. The analysis was conducted from three concepts considered fundamental in the proposal of the landscapes of investigation. These concepts are related with the good reasons of the participants to accept or not the invitation to research, the dialogic acts that constitute the Investigative Cooperation Model and the risks and obstacles present in the process. Such concepts were listed by the researcher and, based on them, were discussed the factors that stood out in the engagement of children with the research proposal. The problems arising from late exposure to sign language by participants, reflected in the investigative action. The factors influencing the engagement of children with activities showed up complex and very private. However, the results of this research showed the landscapes of investigation as an enabling environment and as a new methodological possibility for teaching and learning of mathematics to deaf people. In addition, raises new questions for future research
