If everyone agrees that logic is needed to do mathematics, there are divergences concerning the role of mathematical logic in acquiring the necessary and sufficient knowledge in this area. We will try first to see what might be the students' difficulties in the acquisition of logic of mathematics and what can be Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching Logic of mathematics. A study of syllabuses and textbooks for high school in France shows strong constraints and ill-defined conditions for this teaching. In their answers to a questionnaire we proposed, some teachers expressed their lack of theoretical knowledge in mathematical logic and lack of resources to present to their pupils activities in order to address notions of logic. During a continuous training, we try to offer an approach of mathematical logic which support teaching of logic of mathematics.
