This article is characterized as qualitative research and aims to investigate the learning and difficulties of undergraduates in mathematics, from a university in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, regarding investigative tasks of financial education, based on a metacognitive questionnaire. The metacognition is related to the individual's consciousness about their own learning. The data produced were analyzed through discursive textual analysis, with two categories showing up: a) learning manifestations and b) analysis of the difficulties while performing the tasks. Through this study, we conclude that most of the students involved in the research have learned financial education from the investigative tasks, difficulty analyses and discussions with the class. The main difficulties found are related to the lack of knowledge in economics; insecurity when creating conjectures and generalizations, because of the dependence on the use of forms; the absence of practice in solving open problems. The small groups, when comparing their results, at the moment to socialize with the big group, realized they could have chosen a different path or that an important factor, which could have been part of the analysis, hadn't been considered, which enabled many reflections, strengthening the learning and the development of critical and collaborative thinking.
