One's understanding of his culture is enriched when the important historical events relating to the culture are examined from a quantitative point of view. Elementary school mathematics can help our pupils (and probably ourselves) make sense out of some events or happenings of the history of the United States.

With our certain, albeit slow, movement to the metric system and with the widespread use of calculators, there is general agreement that decimals wiU be introduced earlier in our elementary school mathematics curriculum. Decimals for tenths, for example, have been taught successfully in grade three. Nevertheless, there are major questions, substantial disagreements, and some sheer nonsensical statements being made about fraction concepts, fraction computation, and decimal computation.

Considerable rethinking of elementary school mathematics is occurring. Exciting new directions and emphases are being recommended. One major stumbling block, however, to a more appropriate mathematics program for K–8 students is computation.

Analysis of mathematics subject matter in elementary school is a very important field of study taught at every level of education. The 2013 curriculum separates the field of mathematics studies from themes so that this field of study is a subject that stands alone. Through mathematics subject matter taught in elementary school can train students to think critically, rationally, logically, innovatively so that they have competitiveness. As for the problems discussed from the subject matter in elementary school mathematics which is seen from the suitability of the teacher's book and the student's book, in this case it discusses: 1) the scope of mathematics material grade 3rd elementary school, 2) the characteristics of mathematics subject matter in elementary school, 3) the relevance in elementary school mathematics subject matter to the scientific structure, namely student character, HOTS, 4C skills, literacy numeracy, digital literacy, financial literacy and character education, 4) learning innovation based on integration-interconnection in accordance with the science of development and technology and the needs of the community in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0.
