What we know of how children learn has not been applied to the curriculum, with only a few exceptions. Children are given little time to think and to create their own ways. The need to “get inside the child's head,” to understand the kind of thinking done by the child, and to recognize that the child constructs knowledge, rather than accepting it as someone else's construction, must be satisfied before teaching can be useful to the child.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to gain entrepreneurship skills with activities in mathematics education. With this aim, the Primary School Mathematics Curriculum was examined by the researchers. In this process, data were collected using a document review form developed by the researchers within the framework of Tarhan (2019a). According to this framework, entrepreneurship education includes five dimensions, namely business idea, finance, product design and production, promotion and marketing, investment. Obtained data was analyzed by document analysis method. Through the analysis process, the objectives of the program related to the entrepreneurial skills were determined and the activities were designed in line with these objectives. As a result, it was determined that the activities prepared in order to gain entrepreneurship skills in the Primary School Mathematics Curriculum were not compatible with each grade level and each learning domain. This suggests that some of the objectives are not compatible for gaining entrepreneurship skills. Therefore, any activities could be designed related to objectives and learning domains at some of the grade levels. Moreover, it was also found that there were any studies in mathematics education involving the creation and application of mathematical activities by addressing entrepreneurship elements systematically (dimension, subject, skill, value).

In this paper, six mathematics curriculum changes in Iran will be reviewed, spanning from 1900 until the present time. At first, change forces, barriers, and the main features of each curriculum reform will be represented. The first five curriculum changes are described briefly and the sixth and most recent curriculum reform will be elaborated. In this paper, we call the last reform as contemporary school mathematics curriculum change. This recent (contemporary) curriculum reform will be explained in more detail, followed by a discussion of the effect of globalization and research finding in the field of mathematics and mathematics education (in the Iranian mathematics curriculum). In total, three key ideas are distinguished as an effect of globalization which is “New Math”, “International Comparative Studies”, and “Computational Thinking”. Finally, the paper comments on the necessity of paying more attention to information and communication technology as part of globalization; in particular, recall policy-makers to consider “Computational Thinking” as an important component of future curriculum design.

The Building Michigan's Capacity for Middle School Mathematics Curriculum Reform project is a four-year statewide collaborative effort that is designed to lead the reform in mathematics education within Michigan's middle schools. The project addresses the need for improved achievement in mathematics by students in Michigan and places a high priority on building the mathematics content and pedagogical background of its participating teachers to accomplish that goal.
