The Nature of School Mathematics and Student Mathematics

For a meeting to study English with Dr. Mr. Marsigit held on Wednesday, 11 April 2009 atUnit 3 Space at 01.50 pm. At the meeting, he explains on "The Nature of School Mathematics" and "The Nature of Student Learning Mathematics." Each speech has substance as material substance of learning Mathematics is regarded as a subject that very difficult, and so forth.
Discussion of the basic processes affecting Mathematics Education / study include substance substance that is difficult be debated.

The Nature of School Mathematics
Substance of School Mathematics includes the materials as the subject of which include:
1.Matematika as learn about the science of patterns / relationships
For example, the pattern / relationship with the quadratic function of the probability. Square pattern with the probability function has in explaining the relationship of the graph of quadratic functions and the most opportunity in the emergence of a number cube. Or, for example, the pattern of relations with the coordinates cartesius special triangle side length of the picture and the long side.
2.Ilmu used for problem Solving
Problem solving is the problem a day or days of the problems that other problems with a certain pattern pattern. Who have the stage to recognize or identify problems, create models and make matematikanya settlement. Mathematics is often used for problem solving issues. So the meaning of mathematics is problem solving.
Student research 3.Kegiatan
Mathematics may be defined as students' research activities, including activities related to the problem issues in mathematics education as a settlement or a way matematikanya. Activities conducted to better understand how much knowledge we can expect.
4.Matematika as a means of communication
Mathematics is a means of communication in mathematics. Includes understanding how communication, understanding and a basis of all of that requires good communication and proper communication in science to mathematics education.

In The Nature of Student Learning Mathematics, there are also some substance include:
1.Motifasi
Students need a motivation to learn anything with the basic desire. If the desire has arisen, then the motivation will arise with the desire to senada. The stronger the motivation, the better our efforts to be more advanced.
2.Mandiri
Learn how one person with another is inique. So, based on the business we do, the value that we will achieve is also different. So the value that has been achieved is our uniqueness and differences in these never feel the same. Because of keberbedaan value of the award is for us.
3.Bekerjasama
Students are also social creatures who need each other and learn English need to work together with others to better understand and apply English in a practice day in the life of an activity of learning.
4.Konteks
In student learning of mathematics is required include the context of the rules or the rules of procedure in the study of mathematics is good and true. Context must be used in accordance with the rules in English.
