The literature indicates that students consistently exhibit limited conceptions of infinity in various contexts. Furthermore, it is more resistant in geometric than arithmetic contexts. On the other hand, there is a smaller amount of literature that explores teachers' conceptions and how these conceptions may be similar to those of their students. Therefore, this work presents the results obtained from applying a five-item instrument with secondary and high school mathematics teachers who are in public or private service in the state of Puebla, Mexico. This study had a dual purpose: to show that teachers also possess limited conceptions of infinity, as students do, thereby expanding the existing literature on this topic; and secondly, to em...
