Keywords:
school mathematics, apply math into real life, primary school students
Abstract
Mathematics is closely related to reality and widely applied in many different fields of
science, technology as well as in real life. With its special role, Mathematics is
essential for all sciences, contributing to an increasingly modern and civilized social
life. This paper presents a study of the arrangement of practical elements in
Mathematics textbooks and the analysis of primary school students’ abilities in
applying Mathematics knowledge into practice. This research also aims to emphasize
the importance of developing students’ mathematical application competencies in
teaching and learning mathematic in primary schools and the need to change
teachers' perceptions and actions through some recommendations accordingly.
