To develop mathematics attitude scales of teachers and students, we carried out two examinations which were intended for 137 teachers and 332 6th grade students in elementary schools. According to results of the exploratory factor analysis for two examinations, values of Cronbach's α coefficients of reliability were good in factors picked out. And also Goodness of Fit Index (GFI), Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index(AGFI), and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) were good in validity of items of factors picked out by confirmatory factor analysis. So we could develop mathematics attitude scales of teachers and students through analyses and inqiries of results of two examinations. Also we clarified relationships between mathematics attitudes of teachers and students in comparison with common items out of items of mathematics attitudes of teachers and students.
