Scottish Mathematics Group consisted of a group of mathematics writers who

successfully produced a series of nine volumes text books with title as

Modern mathematics for School. The contents of this Scottish Mathematics
Syllabus contained one-third of the topics in modern mathematics such as set,
number system, number base, modular mathematics, transformation, inequalities,
linear programming and matrix. All the topics in this syllabus are related with our
daily problem. The exposure about these topics will encourage the student to apply the
mathematics skills to solve daily problem through to use of linear programming, matrix
and calculating method. The materials of SMG became important source in the
modern Mathematics project for lower secondary schools.The syllabus in SMG was
the application of mathematics skills to solve daily problem. As a teacher, I must
encourage the student to explore the syllabus and relate it with their daily life. The
student also should realize about their responsible as a leader or generation in
future to become a balance individual.

So, they should struggle to acquire mastery and transfer the knowledge forcountry’s
development. In my opinion, the syllabus in mathematics curriculumneeds to review or
recheck by Ministry of Education. Nowadays, our countrybecomes an advanced country
and mathematics is an important subject foradvanced country. So, the ministry of
education must create the suitable topics inmathematics curriculum based on SMG and
upgrade the contents. This syllabusin new curriculum must contain the application
question, adding the contents andrelate the content to the daily life. Besides that, the
new textbooks must have agraphic note and show the references source such as web
sites address.
