One of the objectives of schools is preparing the younger generation for life not just at the present time but for the future above all. The ongoing changes in the society involve the need for changes in education, which requires teachers – including mathematics teachers – to develop professional skills constantly. It is important that teachers modify their teaching methods and adapt them to changing circumstances. However, the research shows that mathematics lessons are similar and methods used have been the same for many years. In the article the author formulates a thesis that one of the reasons for that are mathematics teachers’ attitudes towards change. On the basis of the research done the author presents the typology of these attitudes pointing out that reluctance, scepticism, and sham approval for implementing changes in teaching methods are predominant attitudes among teachers. As a result, mathematics teachers educate in the same way as they used to be a dozen or several dozen years ago.
