Considering the learners’ perspectives on classroom teaching is central in our project ‘AmadEUs’, in which we work together with 79 students of four school classes in Austria and 23 pre-service teachers. In a first stage, we interviewed these students about significant events in math lessons they had just attended. In this paper, we analysed what kinds of events our students have mentioned and chosen and compared them with our (researchers’) choice of significant events. While different groups of students tended to choose similar events, we observed differences between students’ and researchers’ choices of significant events. In a qualitative analysis, we tried to identify the characters of most commonly selected events by students in contrast to the teachers’ and the researchers’ selections.
