The best average score was achieved in the content domain of “Algebra” and the lower score of “Number”. And the best average score was achieved in the cognitive domain of “Reasoning” and the lower score of “Knowing”. Therefore, analyses were undertaken using the SPSS software to examine mathematics achievement and characteristics of mathematics curriculum.
