Abstract This research aims to investigate critical thinking skills of elementary mathematics teacher candidates in Turkey. Cornell Critical Thinking Skills Test-Level X (CCTTLX) was used as data collection tool. The study group was chosen from a public university located in Inner Anatolia Region of Turkey. 117 mathematics teacher candidates participated to this study. Descriptive statistics were used to profile the critical thinking skills of mathematics teacher candidates. Both scores of each subscale and the total score were taken into account to profile critical thinking skills of the sample. According to the analysis of the data, critical thinking skills of teacher candidates of elementary mathematics were medium level but not high enough.
