 BACKGROUND
The need to understand and be able to utilise mathematics in daily life and in the
workplace become important requirements in the 21st century. The principles of
mathematics appear in many ways in daily life: the world of finance, insurance issues,
social decisions based in statistics and probability, as well as the routine use of number
and shape.
Mathematics is an essential underpinning for careers and occupations: the world of
the sciences, modern technologies, engineering, economics, medicine all have a heavy
dependence on mathematical ideas. Mathematics is a universal language and the
language of mathematics is not based fundamentally on languages like English, Arabic
or Russian. It is a language and a way of thinking which all will need, in small or large
measure, to make sense of the world around
 Formulation of the
problem
1. what is the meaning of mathematics
education?
2. How is mathematics education in the
state of Kuwait?
3. What is the diagnostic view of
mathematics education in Kuwait?

Mathematics Education
According to the
According to the
Booker
Mathematics education is more than
just a sum of appropriate learning
subject matter content and provision
of suitable pedagogy for teachers, but
an understanding of the mathematical
process or a coming to know what the
“doing of mathematics” is all about
• “The study of the subject should
provide students with certain
basic life skills and processes
that will prepare them to be
productive members of society.
• The study of the subject should
Charles and give students the necessary
Lester background knowledge and
skills to enable them to make
career decisions consistent with
their interests and abilities.
• The study of the subject should
have potential for enriching the
students’ lives in some way”

There are some

The Kuwaiti
educational system

school and high
secondary levels
unfortunate trends in
mathematics education
in the state of Kuwait.
These trends
concentrate on

and techniques to
solve mathematical
problems, ignoring
their application in the
real world and in other
subjects
 Conclusion
• Mathematics education can be defined as the study of practices and methods
of teaching and learning mathematics, and the development of mathematics
teaching tools that facilitate that exercise and practice
• The Kuwaiti educational system consists of three levels: primary, junior
secondary school and high secondary levels. Primary level consists of five
grades from age six until age eleven (6-11), junior secondary level consists
of four grades from age twelve until the age fifteen (12-15), and the high
secondary consists of three grades from age sixteen until the age eighteen
(16-18)
• There are some unfortunate trends in mathematics education in the state of
Kuwait. These trends concentrate on acquiring mathematical skills and
techniques to solve mathematical problems, ignoring their application in the
real world and in other subjects
