Should We use the Innovative Teaching Learning of Mathematics?


  INTRODUCTION
Teacher as the person most responsible for the child must have an attitude to creative and innovative. Students need a teacher who can guide him reach adulthood and discover the true identity of the student. Students should not always depend on the teacher in learning. It is necessary to exercise the independence and creativity of the student if he had plunged in the community.
DISCUSSION
Traditional Learning Mathematics
In the traditional mathematics, learning more emphasis on memorization of terms, emphasizing how something is calculated rather than why something is counted thus, prefer to train the brain rather than usability, language / terminology and symbols used are not clear, the sequence of operations must be accepted without a reason, and so forth.
In traditional math, teacher dominated learning in the classroom and always respond 'immediately' to the questions of students. Teachers to teach science, while students have to sit neatly listen, mimic the patterns of a given teacher, the teacher modeled how to solve problems. Pupils act passive.
Students who can best imitate the ways given by the teacher that's what learning is considered successful. The students are generally less given the opportunity to initiate, seek their own answers, formulate arguments. The students are generally confronted with the question "how to solve the problem" but rather to "why we can take steps so". In the traditional mathematical methods, more oriented to the "world teacher". Good teachers are teachers who can teach "the program is still very well.
Innovative Learning Mathematics
Changes to the traditional math program in the methods of modern mathematics is taught. Attention to modern methods of teaching mathematics student interests, student abilities, discover their own methods must be considered.
In innovative method, we change from the situation "teachers teach" to the situation of "the children learn". Nature of the child who always wants to know should be best utilized for education. Organizing the school not to teach but to our children learn. The teacher is the person who is facilitated child's learning process. He put the children to the center of learning, helping and encouraging children to learn, how to phrase questions, how to discuss and find answers to problems.
If we can harness the natural experiences of the child to develop the mathematical concepts of number, measurement and objects, in addition to maintaining the required skills, then the kids will like math because it is relevant in everyday life. They will realize the usefulness and beauty of mathematics because they can be used as a communication tool of thinking. Activities in mathematics can be used by almost all activities, whether it is social science, music or other lessons.
The purpose of modern mathematics teaching for students to learn to participate actively and creatively, that is:
1.      That students are given the opportunity to think freely
2.      So that students are given the opportunity to search for rules, patterns and relations that are part of the important and essential in modern mathematics. Rules, patterns and relationships that exist not only applies to natural and man-made but in the universe.
3.      So that students acquire the skills exercises are necessary.
In the teaching of modern mathematics teaching success or failure is determined by several factors: a) Selecting students, for students of different abilities despite its age the same, b) Curriculum is good, c) Way of teaching, because teachers are factors that greatly determine the success of students in addition to master the methods of teaching and teachers also need to have a broad mastery of the field, d) guidance and counseling is better, and e.) evaluation of learning outcomes better.
Material in a modern mathematical approach is deductive mathematics. In mathematics, the approach is an approach to the presentation of material deductive of materials that are common to the specific nature of the material. Inductive approach is the approach of the things that are specific to matters of a general nature.
In modern mathematical precision of language are concerned. For example, the term "equal" is distinguished from the "congruent" example: "an equilateral triangle has three sides of the same", in modern mathematics is: "a triangle has three sides are congruent". Other terms that need to be disciplined as "wide area". In the old mathematics (numeracy) area is often said to be "broad triangle". More precise is the triangle area.

The characteristics modern mathematics, namely:
1.      Prefer the notion of modern mathematics to numeracy skills and memorizing
2.      Prefer the use of modern mathematical language and terms that are more appropriate
3.      Stresses of modern mathematics to study the structure of mathematics as a whole
CONCLUSION
There are some differences between traditional mathematics with innovative math
Traditional
The World
Innovative
Traditional (ancient)

LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS
INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is the science of existing knowledge and learn from primary school level up to middle school and even through college. Learned the importance of mathematics is that mathematics can be created advanced technologies that are beneficial to human life. Teachers play an important role because through the teacher, students learn math in school with the help of other media.
LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS
In learning of mathematics, student and teacher should be an interaction. Interaction can happen with direct interaction, indirect interaction, one way or two ways. It can happen in the class or remote by internet.
The factor influence or affect the teaching learning process:
1.      Educational facilities
2.      Teaching media
3.      Teaching aids
4.      Psychological aspect
5.      Context of teaching learning
6.      Syllabi
7.      Curriculum
8.      Lesson plan
9.      Student worksheet
1.  Assessment
11.  Teaching learning resources
12.  Paradigm from theories
13.  Phyllosophy
14.  Technology
The factor is moving from time to time. It requires a teacher to be more creative and innovative in teaching. Teachers should not only transfer knowledge but also the transfer value.
The method is an effort to implement the plans drawn up in real activities to achieve learning objectives. An approach can be done by various methods. There are various methods include lecture method, expository simulations, demonstrations, discovery, inquiry for questions, discussions, experiments, games, drills, and giving the task
Teaching learning of mathematics split:
1.      Innovative learning
2.      Traditional learning
In innovative learning, teacher can use discussion method or by presentation with power point and explain just a few of material so student can develop their knowledge with their ways. Teacher can use educational facilities, teaching media, teaching aids, and teacher should make syllabi, student worksheet, assessment, teaching learning resources, and lesson plan by their self.
In traditional learning, teacher usually explain all of material in which student only as object, student just listening and they more difficult to develop their knowledge. Teacher usually just use blackboard or whiteboard.
In teaching learning process, we must pay attention the object of content and the frame work or resources. Refference can put from understanding or knowledge of teacher, concrete model, experience or example, research from internet, book, publication, or by logic/young mind. So that all, the world of teaching learning of mathematics is YOUR SELF

CONCLUSION
            For learning mathematics in schools can be run well, keep in mind the factors that influence it are: educational facilities, teaching media, teaching aids, psychological aspect, the context of teaching learning, syllabi, curriculum, lesson plans, student worksheets, assessment, teaching learning resources, paradigm from theories, phyllosophy, and technology

Elegi Permintaan Si Murid Cerdas Kepada Guru Matematika


Thank you to Mr. Marsigit for giving me new knowledge. From this work, I realized that being a teacher of mathematics is not easy. I should be aware that there are a variety of student character and I should be able to facilitate them so that they can understand that mathematics is not just a lesson without meaning, but the math is really on our lives. I as teacher try to give a solution how to respond to student requests.
How to Develop Lesson Plan
Before  starting to teach, I will make lesson plan. It can help in purpose to hold me for teaching learning process. With this lesson plan, I also has a full prepared of their teaching learning process so teaching learning will process smoothly and no difficulties. Student also feel exciting and will not feel bored because the process of teaching learning have been well arranged in the lesson plan, so there are no useless time in the mathematics teaching learning process.
How to Develop Student Worksheet
Student worksheet can develop student’s ideas an author might have for writing, to entertain, to inform, to persuade, to solve problem, and to introduce the student to a new concept they may not have thought about before. To build a student worksheet, I will determine the topic, the aim, the meaning, the tools that student need to do the experiment and ways to do the experiment. Then I will give an example how to fill the worksheet.
How to Develop Student Apperception
Before I starting the lesson, I will ask the student about what student have known related to the topic which will be held on that day. I will help students to understand about the topic. I also pointed out some work in front of the classroom to the students so that students can see there are many ways and points of view to solve the problem. Thus, students can think critically to answer the questions posed teacher or refute material that does not fit with their understanding. So the task of the teachers, I only as a facilitator to provide motivation to learners active and ready to follow the lessons.
How to implement of various teaching methods in learning mathematics
In learning mathematics, I will try to use various teaching methods in order to students will not feel bored. Learning methods can be interpreted as the means used to implement the plans that are constructed in the form of real and practical activities to achieve learning objectives or ways in which teachers in contact with the students during the course of teaching or the way it presents the subject matter made ​​by educators in order to place the learning on students in an effort to achieve goals.
For effective teaching to take place, I have many options when choosing a style by which to teach. When deciding what teaching method to use, I will consider students background knowledge, environment, and learning goals. I aware that students learn in different ways, but almost all children will respond well to praise. I think the solution is learning mathematics needs to more emphasis on student interaction.
How To Motivate Students To Learn Mathematics
I must motivate student who have thought that mathematics is difficult to have interest on mathematics learning. I need to motivate students so that they have spirit to learning math and they will feel happy when learning mathematics. The way I would do is I need to know and understand the characteristics of my students, then before the lesson started I want to give the words that could encourage my students, words of motivation that will make him think that education is important. With intention and a feel of fun to learn math I am sure they will be motivated to learn mathematics and spirit to search knowledge. I will use daily activity on their teaching learning.
