In this article, we outline some of the main characteristics of the mathematics education in the Finnish educational context. In Finland, teachers are educated to be autonomous and reflective academic experts at both primary and secondary school levels. This policy means there is a strong emphasis on teachers' independence and autonomous responsibility and it also has many consequences for teaching mathematics.
