Abstract
This study aims to investigate how teachers view the values of mathematics. This research was done because mathematics education conducted in Indonesia only develops cognitive factor without involving affective factor. This research is still uncommon in Indonesia. Therefore, this research was done in one of the schools in Bandung using qualitative analysis. During the math lesson, teachers taught math and character separately. After a series of qualitative analysis, this study concludes that the ideal mathematical learning is teaching mathematics by integrating values of mathematics, where the values are affective values.
Keywords: values of mathematics, teachers perspective
