This study is to survey and analyze the opinion of teachers about the relevance of educational content in the 7th mathematics curriculum. For the purpose of this study, we analyze the result of the questionnaire survey which consists in the question about the relevance(Quantity, level, validity) of educational content in the 7th mathematics curriculum. 515 elementary school teachers, 314 middle school teachers, and 323 high school teachers are participated in this survey. 75 percent of elementary school teachers think that the educational quantity must be reduced for the relevance of educational content. So do 50 percent of secondary school teachers. Both of them think that the number of topic must be reduced for the relevance. In special, this study shows that the response rate about the object which is related with interest is very low compared with any other mathematics education objects. So, it is necessary to pay more attention to the object which is related with interest.
