The role of teachers is very important so that students get the knowledge optimally when studying at school. That role can be played well when the knowledge has been mastered by the educators. One of the teachers' knowledge is knowledge content. This knowledge can be seen through the content competency owned by the teacher. Content competency is a set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that must be possessed by the teachers in performing their duties as an educator. Content competency is still rarely found as the discussion topic among the society. Therefore, survey research is conducted to explore the content competency of mathematics teachers in Indonesia. The data was obtained through a subject which was selected randomly. The subject of this research is the mathematics teachers of the senior high school in Indonesia. The data collected using the question test and questionnaire. The results show that mathematics teachers in Indonesia get the content competency of 82.7%. Content competency of the teachers in Indonesia can be categorized as good. The improvement of competency should be continued with the provision of a varied and sustainable training. © 2018 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
