Abstract :This is a report on a preliminary study which attempted to compare the current Ugandan and U.S. secondary mathematics curricula. The study analyzed the content and the level at which content is introduced in the two countries. Results from the study indicated that although the curriculum followed in Uganda offered its students an opportunity to learn high-level mathematics before enrolling in college, there is need to revise it in order to enable students in Uganda to have the capacity to apply mathematics into other disciplines at higher levels. A summary of findings regarding the U.S. curriculum will also be presented.Keywords : Curriculum, Mathematics, Secondary Scholl
