Planning and developing curriculum are fundamental and comprehensive job to satisfy the feasibility of education. Indonesian development dynamics force the development of education, like focus on new issues, the problems of teachers, students, school variation, motivation, student’s ability, technology, and people needs.

Six principles that have to be high light are: 1) Same opportunity for every students; 2) Curriculum is not only about materials, but also about reflections of mathematics activity; 3) Mathematics learning process needs knowledge of student’s need, readiness, and educational facilities; 4) The same opportunity for students to study mathematics and construct their own knowledge; 5) The needs of assessment to increase the qualities of learning process; 6) the utilization of the lesson strategies and methods.

On developing curriculum we have to pay attention on mathematics school characteristics and students’ characteristics. The mathematics school characteristics are: 1) mathematics as developing pattern and relationship activities; 2) mathematics as a creativity that needs imagination, intuition, and discovery activities; 3) mathematics as problem solving activities; 4) mathematics as communication tools. And the students’ characteristics are: 1) students learn mathematics if they have motivation; 2) students learns mathematics in their own way of thinking; 3) students can learn mathematics individually or cooperatively; 4) students needs different context and situation to learn mathematics.

There are some aspect that must be contain on determining the lesson materials:

1)      Fact;

2)      Concept;

3)      Reasoning skill;

4)      Algorithmic skill;

5)      Problem solving skill;

6)      Investigation skill.
