Abstract
This article is a study record of Mathematics education lessons observed in the teacher training colleges（Instituto de Formação de Professores： IFP） and primary schools of Mozambique. Even though group works（workshop type lesson） were introduced in Mathematics lessons of the IFPs, it didn\u27t work appropriately for the students to remember the definition and meaning intended by the curriculum or lesson plan due to a lack of blackboard management（how to write on blackboard）, worksheet and guidance on note taking. As well as the IFPs, this issue was crucial in the primary schools. Moreover, management of lesson time was also pointed out by authors as one of the most indispensable problems. In both types of educational institutions, it is urgent to improve teachers\u27 knowledge and higher-ordered-thinking skill of Mathematics before enhancing their teaching skills and methods
