To achieve these objectives, the study conducted a 30 items cross-sectional survey (questionnaire) among 72 mathematics supervisors in Sultanate of Oman. Descriptive statistics i.e., means and standard deviations were used to identify the level of the educational supervisors’ perceptions and attitudes, while inferential analyses i.e., simple linear regression was employed to examine the causal relationship between the two variables. The results of this study showed high level of perceptions among the educational supervisors about the 7th and 8th grades’ Cambridge mathematics curriculum in light of the knowledge-based economy (Mean= 3.62).
