This paper presents a study on the learning styles of mathematics teachers in the public-school system in the State of São Paulo. The objective of identifying and categorizing the profile of the styles developed by Felder and Silverman dominant by these mathematics teachers working in the São Paulo school system. Through the use of leaning styles through qualitative research that aims to describe the individual characteristics of those involved, it became a motivation for the construction of this work. The Google Forms application was used as a tool to collect responses from participating teachers, which allowed us to create the form and generate a link so that this form could reach the teachers, sent by email via whatsapp. With these data, they were collected, tabulated and analyzed, resulting in the tables and graphs that show the preferences regarding the learning styles of this group of Mathematics teachers. Through the results obtained it is possible to reflect on whether the teachers’ teaching of the indicative of being in line with the material used, as well as with the profile of the classes in which they teach. Finally, also knowing the preferences of teachers’ styles may offer their students the possibility of promoting teaching strategies that enhance their learning.
