What do you think of when you see the word curriculum? China and the United States of America are both very different countries with a much different culture. They have many more differences instead of just culture, but the one this paper will be about is curriculum. China and the US, both have different views of their own curriculum.

The United States curriculum is much different from the China’s because of the environment. The main classes they take are including Math, Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies in 1st through 6th grade. The Math and Language Arts class is VERY similar to the Chinese way of Math and Language Arts. The only difference in them is the languages and the writing.

China has much different classes than America. Some of the classes are including: Chinese, Math, Dance, Drawing/Painting, Sports, Chess/WeiQi, and SAT. Chinese is about the learning of their language (which is Chinese). The math class emphasizes on the logical thinking and problem solving skills in problems about Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, and also decimals and fractions. The types of Dance they do is Performing Art, Ballet (Level l), Ballet (Level ll), Belly Dance, Kids dance 1 & 2, and Cardio dance for adult. Drawing and Painting is just about practicing their skills and developing their learning style. In sports, students of the Martial Arts will learn different forms of kicks, stands, and some performing routines, and in Basketball they will learn and practice the basic skills including dribbling, passing and shooting. The only classes in chess are all Chess l, Chess ll, advanced Chess l, Advanced Chess ll, and so on. The last class SAT is all about verbal learning and verbal math.

China and America are similar in Math, Language Arts and sports. The reason because, is they do the exact same math and equations, and in their different sports, America’s people play basketball also. America doesn’t have Kung Fu, but they do have Tae Kwon Do and Karate. Also, China’s population and the USA’s population. China has way more people in their country.

As you can see, China and the USA, have some things in common, but most things different, for example Kung Fu. America doesn’t have Kung Fu, but it does have Tae Kwon Do and Karate. That can be a similarity. China and America are both very important countries in our world.
