Teaching mathematics is not easy
because we often meet that every student is not easy in learning mathematics.
Jaworski (1994: 83) said that there is no best way to teach mathematics. There
are some methods to teach mathematics : exposition method, discussion method,
problem solving method, investigation method, basic training method and
application method.
We have
some problems when teaching mathematics, they are understanding the meaning of
the theory, how to apply it, condition of the environment, facilities of the
teaching learning process. The teacher has some problems how to solve the
different about mathematics capability between one student to each other, how
to make student be active and how to develop the technology of teaching
learning of mathematics.
The
characteristics of mathematics are :
1. search
for patterns and relationship,
2. mathematics
is a creative activity,
3. involving
imagination,
4. intuition
and discovery,
5. mathematics is a way of solving problems,
6. mathematics
is a means of communicating information or ideas.
The
truth of the students study mathematics are :
1. The
students will study hard if they get motivation
2. The
students study by using the own ways
3. The
students study individually or cooperative with the other friends
4. The
students needs a context and different condition when they study
One of
the teacher’s task is to evaluate their students like meaning, process,
capability, fact and result. To make student like to mathematics we must change
the method of teaching learning process like from the teacher’s center become
student center, teacher’s opinion become student’s opinion, passive student
become active student, etc.
