ABSTRACT
The global society in which we are immersed is facing the challenges set out in 2030 Agenda:
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study focuses on whether mathematics teachers
teach SDGs alongside with their subject in schools located in rural areas of Castilla and León
(Spain). Specifically, this research aims to find out how teachers of mathematics with generalist
training who teach in Primary Education (6-12) and teachers with more specific training who teach
in Secondary Education and Baccalaureate (12-18) work with these aspects. The methodology
used was quantitative, as an online questionnaire was used to collect the 150 responses that make
up the sample for this study. The results show that teachers of mathematics at both educational
levels should pay greater attention to the content linked to the SDGs within their subject.
