Although preservice primary teachers’ limited mathematical knowledge has been well documented, little research has been conducted on programs to improve it. We report on first-year, teacher education students’ use of recommended internet resources on different mathematics topics. Our findings suggest that many of our preservice teachers had not previously used internet resources for learning, except to do research. They also saw mathematics learning as occurring only when they are taught by a teacher and so internet resources were of limited value. Ultimately these beliefs, if left unchanged, will have an impact on their teaching of mathematics to primary school students.
