It was observed that elementary school teachers’ evaluations as to the Mathematics curriculum are positive and that their evaluations do not differ according to alma mater and class size. In addition, evaluation scores are based on seniority, only on the acquisition subscale, in favor of teachers over 21 years and those of 16-20 years; it is in favor of those who receive in-service training only in sub-scale of presentation and total score according to the status of in-service training
