Mathematics curriculum development in Finland – unexpected effects
Curricula changes in the Finnish school system have happened in ten year intervals. In mathematics they have followed the international trends. The most obvious changes are the following:
1. Mathematics at school became descriptive - exact definitions and proofs were largely omitted.
2. Geometry and trigonometry were neglected.
3. Computations were performed by calculators and numbers and not on a more advanced level.
