The subjects of this investigation were 10 teachers of the disciplines of Biology and Mathematics from schools in the municipality of Guarantã do Norte - MT, working in primary and secondary education of basic education, in the second half of 2020. Data were collected via an online questionnaire with open questions and closed, which allowed a qualitative analysis that made it possible to describe the relationships from the teachers' point of view between the teaching-learning of Mathematics and the learning of Biology in high school. Through the analysis of the teachers' answers to the questionnaires, it was possible to identify that these professionals recognize the relationship between the teaching-learning of Mathematics and the learning of Biology in high school, in addition, teachers characterize the relationship between these disciplines as very important for students' learning. However, although there is recognition of the importance of this relationship, it was possible to verify that there are difficulties on the part of the students and, sometimes, even the teachers in mastering the mathematical contents, which can make the teaching-learning process of Biology difficult. Thus, it was possible to conclude that from the teacher's point of view, there is an important relationship between the teaching-learning of Mathematics and the learning of Biology in high school, since previous knowledge of Mathematics is necessary for the learning of several areas of Biology. Thus, difficulties associated with the teaching-learning of Mathematics can represent damage to the general learning of the student, including in the discipline of Biology.
