MAIN IDEA
Concept of CONTINUITY OF THE
CURRICULUM
Review of content in mathematics from
primary to secondary
SUMMARY
ISSUES
At the end of primary school, students remain
unsure that : 1) The fraction n/m is or not a number? 2) What kind of number is n/m? 3) Why > ?
Secondary students cannot relate the previous
lesson during primary schools eg: FRACTION & RATIONAL NUMBER
SUMMARY
OPINIONS/ COMMENTS
Teachers should know mathematics
curriculum, at least for the neighbouring years for that cycle and at least from the learning content point of view (Attard, 2010)
Schools should invite mathematics teacher
from secondary schools to observe or maybe teach primary mathematics lessons to students and vice versa
Teachers need deeply understand the subject
matter and flexibly so that they can help or encourage students create cognitive maps,
CONCLUSION
Researchers and teachers need to sit together
and discuss about the mathematics curriculum design towards future with more efficient way
