In principle, the basic assumption of the characteristics of mathematics, the subject of learners and learning mathematics is used as the basis for development curriculum in mathematics based competency in junior high school, referring to the results of research conducted by mathematics education practitioners (American, British and Canadian) on ten last year.

A.    INTRODUCTION
Planning and curriculum development is a job that require in-depth and comprehensive study to meet the eligibility requirements. Dynamics development of the Indonesian nation, demanding that the curriculum development needs attention to: current issues in education, the issues that arise in field, variations in school, educational personnel, interests and abilities of students, as well as demands development of society, science and technology. Six basic principles should considered in the development of mathematics syllabus based on competencies, namely: (1) learning opportunities for all students without exception subjects, (2) curriculum not only is a collection of teaching materials, but can reflect on mathematical activities coherently, (3) mathematics learning requires an understanding of students learning needs , learning readiness and service learning facilities, (4) opportunities for students to studied mathematics actively to build the structure concept through of their knowledge and experience, (5) the need for assessment activities to improve the quality of learning from time to time, and (6) utilization of a variety strategy and learning methods dynamically and flexibly in accordance with the material, students and the learning context.
