Abstract: Educational research establishes that sound knowledge is required in order to teach a subject, both knowledge of the own discipline and of their didactics. In the case of mathematics, data from an international study (TEDS-M) has shown current deficiencies relating to future teachers’ training programs in mathematics and its teaching in Spain. This article contrasts these results from a research with in-service and pre-service primary teachers, by identifying the difficulties of pre-service teachers regarding some knowledge for teaching mathematics around problem solving, and analyzing which of these difficulties are reduced or which remain with the teaching experience.
