In this study, qualitative research design is used and 54 of 252 preschool teachers participated to the study. A questionnaire was used to identify their opinion and approach of teaching mathematics in preschool under three themes that are teaching mathematics skills, use of curriculum and pedagogical content knowledge. According to the findings it was revealed that only 5 of the participants were graduated from preschool teaching department.
