Preparation steps of mathematics syllabi based competence is series of activity that begins with philosophy studies mathematics development, included in it is preparation of the scientific structure. The steps in preparing mathematics syllabi are identification subject, deployment and sequencing basic competence, determine basic competence, determine learning materials and description, determine study experience, set time allocation, source material, and also development of learning units.
