When starting to enter play group, I have learn Mathematics. Usually Mathematics at play group level introduced with visual method, like passing picture and object forms around him/her. Or can be told learning and playing at the same time. The situation felt so nice. Recognition of form, giving colour, recognizing number, recognizing quantifying, compiled reductions systematically and creative make me interest in Mathematics. That way, there no feeling lazy to learning Mathematics.
In learning Mathematics, usually items submitted at Elementary School level attributed to daily-living causing feeling to like to know, attention, and enthusiasm in learning Mathematics. Not only at school, at home the parents also can teaching the children to learn Mathematics even at play time. Because at play time, children not realize if they are learning.
According my experience, at elementary school learned way to calculate kindly. Mathematics is always taught step by step. If when play group we taught with visual method which full of pictures, at elementary school we taught with fingers. Not only reductions or quantifying, but also multiplication. Even though, learning Mathematics must made interesting. For example, students taught multiplication with number 9. We know that any numbers besides 0 which multiplied 9, the amount of numbers surely 9. I feel that can become the way of teacher to grow feel interest of student to Mathematics.
Beside that, in learning measurement and geometry usually student more interest if there is physic appliance or the instruments. Of course that will obviate the student of ascription that Mathematics is boring lesson. Therefore, I feel a teacher as educator also should be able to create learning situation kindly but remain to effective.
At Elementary School, I very like Mathematics lesson. When my final exam, I get perfect score for the Mathematics lesson. I very proud with the result which I get.
When Junior High School, of course the Mathematics matter more complex to taught. I also feel that way. How much more added by statement telling that Mathematics is difficult. We know that Mathematics claim many analysis, calculation, etc. While many students which tend to chosen memorizing than calculating. For that, need the existence to learning Mathematics kindly.
At Senior High School, I have worry with the pass of exam. Specially Mathematics value which I will get. Therefore, I have follow learning extramurally. That moment I very interest about quick formula to solving the Mathematics problem. In the reality there is true that they taught how to solving the problem quickly but correctly. But now I realize that it is part of instant culture because with the quickly formula mean us only majoring the result, not the process.
Before, I don't have idea to be a teacher. Specially a Mathematics teacher. Many people think that Mathematics is very difficult lesson, a lot of formula must be mastered. Because I am very confuse about study programme what I will take if I will continue school in one of university, I consult with my teacher. He gave a suggestion to take the Mathematics Education. The reason is a Mathematics teacher always required. That reason make me accept him suggestion. So, now I study Mathematics Education in State University of Yogyakarta.
We often hear the statement that Mathematics is difficult. How much more if dislike the mathematics lesson. Me, who have felt become a student also have that opinion. But I am conscious that Mathematics is science which need understanding and diligently.
