Mathematics Teaching And The Implementation

Mathematics is for all People, so we must learning it without compulsion. For the example, last week Mr. Marsigit went to her grand daughter’s house. He was teaching his belove grand daughter with the concept about of time. For the baby it’s so difficult to understood that concept. Mr. Marsigit have played a game with her, he brought a toy with a lamp. He explained the procedure of the toy. The toy has 3 mode, the first mode when pushed once it can illuminate to continue. The second mode, if pushed twice it can blinking. And the last mode if we pushed for long time, maybe two minute, it can turn off. And she couldn’t do, so Mr. Marsigit gave her example again and she was able to do. And for a long time, she was forgot. It’s difficult concept from adult people and copying to baby and she was became bored. This activity was so easy for adult people but it also difficult for very young baby..

Adult people every day learning about the concept of time. There is relationship between distance, speed, and time. If the time was longer so the farther the distance. And Mr. Marsigit grand daughter have learning about that. It can emerge intuition. We are need to learn mathematics because we are candidate of teacher mathematics in junior or senior high school even at elementary school. For the young baby we can teach basic mathematics such as about number, geometrical shape, basic operation with addition and substraction number. We can make a song about number, playing a game, and maybe with some picture.

Mr. Ilham has a research in Utrecth University. He was said that in Netherland has a unique games. It names Rumicube. It game applicable to connected the relationship between colour and number. Every learning related to and ready for daily activity.

About geometry, we can observe  surroundings. For example, we can measuring the width of the classroom. If we don’t know the widht of the classroom, so, we are using intuition. Or we can measuring the length of the student feet. The average the female feets are 22 centimeters. It’s using the concept of distance. So we can learn mathematics from resources arounding our live. There are many artefact in central java such as Borobudur and Prambanan temple. The artefacts is some sample of mathematics application. In the modern era, many technology can support mathematics teacher to teach. We are the candidate of mathematics teacher, so, we must expertist to use technology. So we can simultaneously learning english because it’s one size of learning mathematics education.
