Planning and curriculum development is a job that requires in-depth and comprehensive study to meet the eligibility requirements. Six basic principles must be considered in the development of mathematics syllabus based on competencies, namely: (1) the subject of learning opportunities for all students without exception, (2) curriculum is not merely a collection of teaching materials, but may reflect a coherent mathematical activities, (3) learning mathematics requires understanding of student learning needs, readiness to learn and learning facility services, (4) opportunities for students to learn mathematics actively to build the structure of concepts through knowledge and experience, (5) the need for assessment activities to improve the quality of learning from time to time, and ( 6) utilization of various learning strategies and methods dynamically and flexibly in accordance with the material, students and the learning context.There are several reasons why competency based curriculum of choice in an effort to improve the condition of education in this country, including (1) the potential of students is different, and that potential will develop if the right stimulus, (2) the quality of educational outcomes are still low and disregards aspects of moral, morals, manners, arts & sports, and life skill, (3) global competition causing students / children who are able to work / exist, and the less able will fail, (4) competition on the ability of the source product of human resources of educational institutions, and (5) competition occurs in educational institutions, so it needs a clear definition of competency standards, which further matapelajaran competency standards need to be translated into a number of basic competence. Competency-based mathematics education emphasizes the skills that should be possessed by graduates; so that the curriculum was developed based on the elaboration of a basic skills competency standards. Curriculum 2004 is as a concept, as well as a program, according Siskandar Competency-Based Curriculum (2003) have characteristics: 1) emphasis on the achievement of competencies students both individually and classical; 2) results-oriented and diversity; 3) submission in learning using a variety of approaches and methods; 4) the source of learning not only teachers but other learning resources that meet the educational element, and 5) assessment process and the emphasis on learning outcomes in an attempt mastery of a competency. The curriculum is designed to be in the process of learning mathematics, students are able to perform search activity patterns and relationships; develop creativity with imagination, intuition and invention; perform problem solving activities; and communicate mathematical thinking to others. To achieve these capabilities developed learning
that takes into account the context of mathematics and its application in everyday life. Step-by-step preparation of syllabus Komampuan Based Elementary Mathematics subjects, a series of events that begins with the philosophical study of the development of mathematics education, including the preparation of scientific structures. In order to obtain a structure in accordance with the essence of scientific nature of mathematics and mathematics learning is necessary for scientific validation of the structure.
