Competency-based mathematics education emphasizes the skills that should be possessed by graduates; so that the curriculum was developed based on the elaboration of basic skills competency standards. Standards of competence is an ability that can be performed or displayed in the learning of mathematics, whereas the minimum basic skills is an ability in mathematics courses that must be possessed by students.

All skills / competencies that are developed with the principle of assessed valuation / assessment an authentic not only on memory and comprehension level but up to the application.

Experiences and learning activities are activities that students need to be done in order to achieve basic skills and learning materials. Judging from the competencies to be achieved, the experience can learn to memorize, use, and find; viewed from the side of the material blessings with the learning experience can be acquired facts, concepts, principles, etc.. The learning experience can be obtained both inside and outside the classroom.
