How to teach mathematics by Mr. Marsigit and Mr. lIham

Mr. Marsigit research : I’m here deliberately to introduce educational terminology. I want to plan about passing mathematics education, so I want to indicate that mathematics is about all and for all people. Wherever there are younger student, older student, very old people, and very young baby. I as explain mathematics last week to for younger student that intuition is very important. Last Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I from Jakarta to look my granddaughter, my granddaughter is two years and four month. I have a chance to experiment with my granddaughter about the concept of time that is briefly and old, so I try to understand with my granddaughter and different yet the concept of briefly and old. By chance I have a battery with three modes, one grade the battery will illuminate continually and then second grade will illuminate blinkingly but if I push for long time the battery will off. For first experience my granddaughter couldn’t turn off the battery, and then I give example how to turn off the battery by push for long time. Second time my granddaughter can able to do, but second time forget and can’t able to do again. So I think my granddaughter learning the concept about briefly and old, this is the concept for time is very difficult for my granddaughter, and then next she boring, but from this activity I can learn how to learn mathematics from the very young baby, to learn mathematics by doing experience and following adult activity and copying. Did you learn about the relationship between the distance, speed and the time? So I went to Jakarta by my own car, I and my second son alternately to drive the car, I departed from Yogyakarta Friday night at nine o’clock and up in Jakarta at nine o’clock in the morning, our trip is about 12 hours. The relationship between the distance and time is the farther away the longer the time, so my granddaughter was playing to learn the concept about time that is how long time to turn off the lamp, but it’s very difficult, so experience for my granddaughter will be very important, and also for student, so by having experience then emerge intuition. So that way mathematics needs to be learn for all people not only in university but also in secondary school. What kind of mathematics for very young learner?  For younger student how to learn number, for example for two years make a song, play something song, pictures, and then game.  So because you will be mathematics teacher and mathematics teacher not only for junior high school and senior high school but maybe for elementary school.

Mr. Ilham research : I will tell about the intuition, I think we all here good a really student have to learn from what they have already now, so I think of you agree also that it is impossible if you to learn something that isn’t have any connection with our life, and good idea to sure for what is student now what something what they already  have and then we learn related to what very young student could learn be good learning with game.

The keyword about the contextual learning is related and ready, so whatever you learn everything, anything, always the aspect of related and ready. Why should it be related? So you are ready.
