ROMANIAN MATHS CURRICULUM

SOME GENERALITIES ABOUT THE CURRICULM

• 1. Basic aquisitions cycle (kindergarten – grade II) having as main objective accomodation with the demands of the scholar system and initial literacy;

• 2. Cultivation/ building-up cycle (grade III – grade VI) when the main aim is building basic skills necessary to carry forward their studies.

In our country , The National Curriculum is built on the following seven curricular areas:

1. Language and communication

2. Mathematics şi Science

3. Man and society

4. Arts

5. Physical Education and sport

6. Technology

7.Counselling and guidance

•For Mathematics , and for the other subjects as well, the number of hours intended for compulsory activities for all students, which is meant to ensure equal chances for all of them, is established in the plan frame.

Being a dynamic tool, the Romanian

curriculum is undergoing a

reform.

Differences

• The traditional field of view, where the curricular areas included mono disciplinary approached subjects was given up and it turned towards a multi or interdisciplinary approach , packing together more school subjects.

• The actualul curriculum aims at building functional educational competencies, absolutely necessary for students to get into the work market.

In the school year 2014-2015 grade 2, is the first generation who started

primary school at the age of 6.The new curriculum is working out. The

syllabus keeps to the curricular projection model ,focused on skills.

The compulsory number of hours:

2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade
