Abstract
Knowledge concerning the leadership work of primary mathematics leaders is rare. The object motives of three mathematics leaders were explored using interviews and document retrieval as data sources. Using cultural-historical activity theory, five themes about the object motives that the leaders pursued in their professional learning leadership activity during a mathematics project are provided. This suggests that their professional learning leadership activity was polymotivated activity that included both leadership and managerial work aspects. This activity was largely mediated through the introduction of cultural tools by mathematics project team staff.
