The Mathematics Teachers Conference(MTC) is an important professional development activity for Singapore mathematics teachers. There were seven keynote lectures, twenty-two workshops, and nine special sessions at the 13th MTC. All the keynote lectures and workshops focused on the theme of "big ideas in mathematics" and had abundant and varied content which covered several domains, such as mathematics, textbooks, instruction, evaluation, and so on. The form of professional development activity of the MTC in Singapore helps us to think about how to conduct effective professional development activities for teachers so as to serve local mathematics teachers in an ongoing basis.
