A curriculum is a fundamental element of a country's education. Learning material is one of the important parts of the curriculum that can affect the quality of education. Indonesia and Singapore are countries with close geographical location. However, both have differences and similarities in mapping mathematics learning material. This study aims to compare Indonesia and Singapore middle school mathematics material mapping. This study is a comparative study with qualitative approaches methodologically, and document analysis is the methodological technique to be utilized. Therefore, an in-depth analysis of curriculum documents from both countries will be carried out to find the comparability of the mathematics material mapping of the two countries. The analysis showed that the materials taught in both countries are at the same grade for numbers, percentage, indices, perimeter and area of triangles and polygons, angles, Pythagoras' theorem, probability, cartesian coordinate, linear equations in two variables, and quadratic equations. The differences in material mapping found in terms of the number of materials, distribution of materials, the depth of materials, and the order of materials. © 2022 Author(s).
