Abstract
Assumptions are made about what primary school teachers need to make them better mathematics teachers. ProfessIonal development courses and conferences are held based on these assumptions? Who decides what teachers need? What do teachers want for professional development in teaching primary mathematics? Do they know what's good for them? This paper presents preliminary results of a study of primary school teachers' views of what's important in teaching maths and outlines the inherent difficulties. . Teachers views of the influences on their teaching and their ideas of the perfect· professional development for maths teaching are also included.
