The paper shows that teachers do not yet have extensive knowledge of sustainability and the SDGs, which makes it difficult for them to design and implement practices based on this perspective. In addition, with regard to the connection with mathematical education, the great majority of teachers believe it is a necessary link, but that certain obstacles and challenges, such as the expansion of knowledge and time management, must be overcome first.
