Abstract
Based on two studies conducted in Singapore schools on qualities of good mathematics teachers, the attributes of a good mathematics teacher are derived from the perspectives of pupils in primary and secondary schools. Drawing on the Standards for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics in Australian schools and with inputs from a group of Mathematics heads of departments the attributes of good mathematics teachers from the perspectives of teachers are formulated. Finally characteristics of teachers that pave the way for excellence in the mathematics classroom are outlined.
