Recently, the importance of discussion on the development of mathematical thinking increases in mathematics education. The recent study due to the author found that the students of teacher training course do not fully understand the core concepts of mathematical thinking. In this paper, we confirm the current situation on how does the students understand the view of mathematical thinking, and we report on the related issues and methods for its overcoming.
