THE TRUTH OF MATHEMATIC

We know that most people think that mathematics is difficult. Most of student usually hate in mathematics lesson. So, to make student love mathematic, according to Ebbut and Straker (1995), teacher didn’t properly to use axiomatic mathematics, but teacher must definition mathematics as school mathematics.

In school mathematics we make mathematics become realistic, different with axiomatic mathematics that work as abstract mathematics. There is kind in truth of school mathematics according to Ebbut and Staker :

1. Mathematics is activity to investigation pattern and relation.

In there teacher give opportunity student to do research and innovation pattern to determine relation. Beside that teacher also give opportunity student to try the other way to solve mathematics problem. And then we support student to find order, different, proportion, group, etc. Teacher also support student to make general conclusion. And the last teacher help student to understanding and find the relation between one definition with each other.

2. Mathematics is creativity which needed imagination, intuition, and innovation.

To bring that into reality the way is:

· Motivate initiative and give opportunity to thing different.

· Motivate curiosity student to make question, ability to protest and approximately.

· Support student find structure and mathematics model.

· Support student to think reflection, give attention to innovation from the other student.

3. Mathematics is problem solving activity

To increase the student ability in finding the problem solving in mathematics, the method are:

· Prepare the situation in study mathematic which make mathematics problem.

· Help student to solve math problem with their own solution.

· Help student to know about information which needed to solve mathematic problem.

· Support student to think logic, consistent, systematic, and apply note or documentation system.

· Improve ability and skill to solve problem.

· Help student to know how and when they can use kind of media or model mathematics education like: rule, calculator, etc.

4. The last of truth mathematic school is, mathematics is instrument of communication.

To improve student ability in communication math language, teacher must support student to be familiar with characteristic of mathematic. Teacher also support student to make sample in characteristics of mathematic and explain what the definition about characteristic of mathematic. Beside that, teacher must support student to give the reason in why they need mathematics activity, and talking about mathematic problem. In there student must given support to read and write mathematic, the last teacher must give esteeming student’s mother language in conversing mathematics.

They are the solution to make mathematics not difficult and scream between the students. If teacher apply that for kind of truth mathematics school, student will enjoy in study mathematics and more understand about mathematics.
