Abstract
There is broad acceptance that mathematics teachers' beliefs about the nature of
mathematics impact the ways in which they teach the subject. It is also recognised
that mathematics as practised in typical school classrooms is different from the
mathematical activity of mathematicians. This paper presents evidence that some
mathematics teachers hold differing beliefs about nature of mathematics, as a
discipline and as a school subject and suggests possible implications for practice.
