A total of 35 primary school mathematics teachers from five cities of Shandong Province participated in this survey. This research adopted the face-to-face way to collect information. The results indicated: 1) The number of students which most primary school mathematics teachers looked for to understand learning situations was generally not more than 10 people (85.7%); 2) The type of students which most primary school mathematics teachers looked for to understand learning situations was mainly backward students (97.1%); 3) The content that most primary school mathematics teachers understood from students was their mastery of knowledge (82.9%); 4) The main way of understanding was direct inquiry (83.7%). So the primary school mathematics teachers¡¯ work of understanding students¡¯ learning situations was obviously too simple and incomplete, this perhaps was the fundamental reason that caused some present primary school mathematics teaching difficulties. %K Mathematics Teaching %K Understanding Learning Situations %K Primary School %K Extra-Curricular Time %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=63229
