Participants were parents/guardians and teachers of 47 children, aged between 10 and 11 years, from a private school in the state of São Paulo. There was significant correlation between grades in Mathematics and the parents' and teachers' assessments in the BRIEF and IFERA-I, with the BRIEF presenting higher correlations than the IFERA-I. The teachers' responses showed higher negative correlations with mathematical achievement than those of the parents in all subscales, except in the organization of materials (BRIEF), and the parents reported more difficulties than the teachers. The results corroborate the association between executive functions and Mathematics, as well as the importance of multiple informants in child assessments.
