Eight teachers were interviewed concerning how students verify conjectures. The study is a sequel to a previous study, "How Students Verify Conjectures" [Bergqvist, T. (2000). "How students verify conjectures." "Research reports in Mathematics Education" 3]. Teachers' expectations of students' reasoning and performance are examined, and also how they wish students would work. The results indicate that the teachers tend to underestimate the students' reasoning levels and that they believe that only a small group of students in each class can use higher level reasoning in mathematics.
