To teach mathematics is not easy. There are some students that have opinion that mathematics is difficult. Besides that, students are not easy to learn mathematics too. There are some models and some methods that can help teachers to teaching mathematics. The method such as exposition method, discussion method, problem solving method, investigate method, and soon. But, to apply the methods, teachers have some constrained, such as lack of understanding of the subject, how to apply that, the facilities and the system.
Commonly, the teachers feel difficult to cover the differences of ability of student learn mathematics, to give motivation to makes students more active, and to develop learning technologies. Sometimes, to get the best mark for the students, teacher used explanation method. Teachers just give and direct.
If teachers only use explanation method, the students will depend on teacher’s explanation. They will not be active and find the concept by themselves. The ability of students will difficult to be developed. Teachers should make mathematics attractive for students. First step, teachers should make students feel comfort with mathematics. Teachers should built good communication with students. Give description about the nature of students learn mathematics. Teachers as facilitator for the students. To get more information, students should find it by themselves and sometimes collaborate with their friends. But teachers did not immediately release their students. Teacher should give evaluation, how deep students know about the subject. The important thing is the process of students finds the true answer by their own ways. Let the students’ explorer their ability in the subject by themselves.
