    The document discusses four foreign mathematics curricula that influenced Malaysia's mathematics curriculum: 1. The Nuffield Mathematics Project (NMP) introduced a new approach to primary math teaching focused on concrete experiences. It influenced Malaysia to use worksheets and technology in classrooms. 2. The Scottish Mathematics Group produced textbooks incorporating real-world problems. This impacted Malaysia's lower secondary modern math syllabus. 3. The School Mathematics Project developed progressive secondary textbooks using logic, influencing Malaysia's Form 4-5 syllabus. 4. The School Mathematics Study Group widened and advanced content through activities and language. This influenced Malaysia to use activity books in primary math.

    NUFFIELD MATHEMATICS PROJECT (NMP)

    INTRODUCTION
    Introduced in 1964 for primary schools in Britain Financed by the Nuffield Foundation and supported by the British Education Ministry.

    MAIN AIM
    To introduce a new approach and new method of teaching and learning of Maths for primary school students.

    CHANGES
    Primary School Maths Syllabus was rearranged from being : Simple to Complex Concrete to Abstract Nearby-experiences to Distance-experiences Dr.Geoffrey Matthews and a team of Mathematics writers published many guide books as well as teaching modules for teachers. Various learning instruments and worksheets were produced to be used during group activities.

    OUTCOME
    Good respond Successful in achieving its objective

    IMPACAT ON MALAYSIA MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

    SPECIAL PROJECT 1970 adapted most of the ideas from NMP Teaching should not only be revolved within the classroom. Teachers should expose students with a variety environment involving the use of latest technology like the LCD, PowerPoint presentations etc. Activities in classroom involves worksheets.

    SCOTTISH MATHEMATICS GROUP (SMG)

    INTRODUCTION
    Consisted of a group of Mathematics writers produced a series of 9 volume text book ; Modern Mathematics for School

    THE BOOK : MODERN MATHEMATICS FOR SCHOOL


    1/3 consists of Modern Mathematics topics such as set, number system, inequalities etc Most topics are related to daily problem The exposure obtained by students encourages them to apply Mathematical Theories in solving their daily problems
