The paper focuses on the concept mapping strategy and the possibility of its inclusion in the pre-gradual training of primary school teachers. The mathematical part of the study is very difficult for many students. A large number of our students, future teachers, see mathematics as a mere set of knowledge to be absorbed and then reproduced at exam time even without a deeper understanding. The concept mapping strategy can help students to structure the curriculum, to become aware of relationships and connections, to gain proper insight into the issue. The paper deals with preliminary results of ACPM (Attitudes Towards Concept Mapping in Mathematics), which was practised in 2016 and 2017. The ACPM research was focused on student attitudes to the using of the concept mapping strategy for a better understanding of mathematical foundations.
