Geometry is an important, excitig part of elementary school mathematics. Children can be involved in relating mathematics to shapes in their environment. The activities described here suggest one way to help children develop some basic ideas about simple closed shapes, angles, and triangles. By constructing models of geometric shapes and physically transforming those models, children can examine the changes that occur with a transformation. This can help organize and synthesize thinking about basic geometric concepts. It can also serve as a foundation and a springboard for activities involving the use of a ruler, compass, or protractor.

Future Work

The elementary school mathematics teacher has an important job—that of laying the foundation for his pupils' future work in mathematics. However, in his efforts to teach mathematics so that children understand the concepts behind their work, there may be a tendency to overlook the fact that all ideas in mathematics cannot be justified. The very nature of mathematical thought is such that there are some basic ideas we must agree to accept.

School Mathematics Curriculum

What is the most neglected area of the elementary school mathematics curriculum? The answer, probably, is geometry. Too many people think of geometry as a formal structure, like the course they had in high school. As a result. they do not see its relevance to the elementary school mathematics curriculum. Activities that introduce children to geometric concepts provide experiences that help children develop and reinforce spatial perceptions.

In trying to decide what to say about this subject with only forty-five minutes in which to say it, I asked a colleague for suggestions. He said, “Refute, if you can, the charge of ‘pseudosophistication’ currently being made against much of what's new in the elementary school mathematics curriculum.”

Measurement is a major topic in elementary school mathematics, appearing in every grade from one through eight. The importance of measurement is indicated not only by its wide application in everyday life, but also because its basic ideas are studied in mathematics classes through the graduate level of the university. Despite the wide applicability of measmcment and its continuous appearance in the curriculum, there is a great gulf between how the practical man measures, reports his measurements, and judges their preciseness, and the mathematician's convention for dealing with measurements.

Important Field

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.
