The main base of problem is how to planning, developing, and implementation of curriculum which appropriate with the teaching learning activity what be hoped. In the mathematics education is based of competence emphasize on the competence which it is should has by graduate, so the curriculum should be developed appropriate explaination of competence standart be came to the base competence that it include afective skill, cognitive, also psichomotoric. Therefore, in order to be reached mathematics education then it is need rowed syllabi of mathematics lesson so include lesson substance which it refer on the characteristic of mathematics appropriate with what is reached.
Ebbutt dan Straker (1995: 10-63) define school mathematics and then called as mathematics ,that:
1. Mathematics is activity to research pattern and relation.
2. Mathematics is creativity which it need imagination, intuition, and innovation.
3. Mathematics is activity of problem solving
4. Mathematics is communication tool.
In the developing of cognitive aspect, Ebbutt dan Straker (1995: 60-75) also give define about characteristic of student and implication of mathematics learning so potention of student can be developed optimally, that they are:
1. Student will study if they get motivation.
2. Student study with their method.
3. Student study stand alone and cooperation.
4. Student need the context and situation which different in their study.
In the hierarchy of afective aspect according to Krathwhol, Paul, dan Krech that about attitude can be get the conclusion that the meaning of attitude that it is disposing of sense to psychology object, it is evaluation of object.
In the developing of psychomotoric aspect that student activity is toke to demonstrate about skill and competence to do physic activity like that draw triangle, square, cyrcle, etc.
Implemetation in curriculum then the Basis Competence Curriculum be planed so in the learning mathematics process, student can do searching of pattern and relation activity; develop creativity and imagination; intution and discovery; and communicate about their mathematics thought to other.
Experience and study activity should be did by student so they can reach the base competence and substance lesson. Study experience can be got in class or out of class and it is be supported by axistance of object source. Developing of experience and study activity is essence of Basis Curriculum Competence system which it include mathematics charracteristic, child subject, and mathematics learning.
