My Reflection at the Fourth Meeting

Why the sky is blue?

One question, but have a lot of answers. The answer related with “why do you like writing?” How do they like to study mathematic?

Usual, the student thinking that mathematic is only one. But day to day, week to week, and the end we finish our study. At the moment that we have finish our study, we realize that mathematic is not only one. Theoretic is there are many mathematic. The number of mathematic is similar to the number of people who think mathematic. If we talk about mathematic, we don’t look mathematic like God. We don’t talk about hard mathematic but look mathematic at around you. We should appreciate to they who study mathematic in the valley, the slopes, the isolate place, the place around us, who can feel the hard of study. Basically, there are two category of mathematic:

1.      Formal mathematic, axiotic mathematic, pure mathematic.

2.      The real action of mathematic, and we must adapt to area study mathematic.

So, someone who cannot adapt is stupid people. In the social sciences, smart person is who has adaptability, and someone who hasn’t adaptability is stupid person. If we learn mathematic to student of elementary school with university method, so we are stupid person. Smart person but in the other side this person is stupid. Smart life is if he/she can adapt to situation and condition. Javanese talks we must have good manners. Teacher also have good manners with student and with mathematic.

The mathematic method should change, mathematic for young student is activity. Mathematic activity for younger:

1.      Mathematic is relationship

2.      Mathematic is a problem solving activity

3.      Mathematic is a investigation activity

4.      Mathematic is the means of communication

People of curriculum don’t know about mathematic, they just know that mathematic is only one. So, our educations are getting worse. We feel pity for children. They receive knowledge not at exactly time. They shouldn’t receive it. Many methods that give to children, but many methods don’t compatible with children. So, Mr. Marsigit expand method of approach. After he doing research, he found the best method. It is naturally.  The method can’t broke the children future. We think that the best method to learning something is translate to translate, reflect to reflect. On the first, people can not believe with our method, they usually underestimate with our opini. But step by step they can agree with our method. It is need time.

The teacher has obligation to facilitate student to make mathematic easily, happy, and enjoy. The friendly method is duplicate God idea. The good teachers are who can facilitate their student. Teacher need technology to serve their student carefully, for example web.blog.
