This paper will discuss the mathematics teacher efficacy beliefs (MTEB) of primary initial teacher education (ITE) students. We are interested in studying how ITE students’ MTEBs are influenced (or not) by mathematics education modules undertaken as part of an undergraduate Bachelor of Education (BEd) programme. We will detail how approximations of practice (Grossman, Compton, Igra, Ronfeldt, Shahan, & Williamson, 2009) have been incorporated into mathematics education modules to create opportunities for the development of MTEBs and will report on focus group interviews which explored MTEBs of ITE students
