The study aimed to investigating the MTC for Yemenis and Chinese middle schools teachers, and the significance extent of MTC has been studied. As will as the study tries to explore the extent of mathematics teachers practicing those competencies in the classroom.For this reason, the researcher formulated the following questions:1,What are the necessary teaching competencies of mathematics teacher in the last three grades of the basic education stage?2,What is the significance extent of such competencies for the Yemenis and Chinese mathematics teacher in the last three grades of the basic education stage?3,Are there any distinctions with statistic indication among the members of the sample based on country, sex, qualification or experience variable at a statistics indication level of 0.05?4,What are the levels of the teaching competency availability for the mathematics teacher in the three last grades of the basic education stage?5,Are there any distinctions with statistic indication in the extent of teaching competencies availability among the members of the sample based on sex, qualification or experience at a statistics indication level of 0.05?6,What is the proposed strategy for developing the teaching competencies for mathematics teacher?To find answers to the above mentioned questions, The study used the descriptive research approach. To determine the MTC, the data was collected from specialist's educators, teacher's experience and previous studies which related to the study subject.The study created a list of MTC consisted of five categories which were Preparation competencies and planning the lesson, Competencies of carrying out the lesson, Assessment competencies, Competencies of educational means and tools and Personal competencies. To know the significance degree of the MTC The researcher distributed a questionnaire including 60 items of MTC to sample consisted of 90 Yemenis teachers and 43 Chinese teachers. After testing the instrument validity by panel of experts, and computing its reliability through Pearson correlation coefficient which was 88%.To know the levels of the teaching competency availability for the mathematics teacher, observation card (checklist) has been applied on the sample of study after verified the validity of checklist through offer the checklist to the educational specialist and experience teachers, and verified the checklist reliability via applied observer agreement methods which was 82.4. After gathering data, the researcher used SPSS program to analysis questionnaire and observation card data.The results showed a clear similarity between Yemenis and Chinese teacher's views about the MTC significant. The study results shows that the Chinese teachers more attention toward educational tools and means than Yemenis teachers, and the female teachers more attention toward educational tools and means than male teachers.The finding indicates that the female teachers have significantly higher general competencies than male teachers.The result of observation card shows a great weakness in the Yemenis teacher's performance especially MTC which related to the diagnosing learning, inabilities and lack in using educational means and tools, and weakness in exploit the technological tools in teaching process.In the light of study results, the study proposed a proposal of training program for mathematics teacher in middle schools.
