Abstract
The negative attitudes of some student teachers towards mathematics and the inadequacy of their mathematical backgrounds have been a concern of mathematics educators for many years. In an attempt to understand the interaction of cognitive and affective factors in mathematics learning, this paper presents a case study of one preservice early childhood/primary teacher education student’s experiences of learning mathematics. The study identifies issues which are of concern both to teachers and to teacher educators.
