Abstract
This article notes that the goal of mathematics education is the development of a healthy "mathematical disposition," but that the beliefs, negative attitudes, and misconceptions about mathematics and its teaching and learning make the development of healthy dispositions a difficult task. The article makes suggestions on ways for educators to help students to develop more productive dispositions towards mathematics
