Assalamualaikum w.w.

Saya adalah salah satu siswa yang mengalami pembelajaran matematika yang amat sangat menyenangkan di sekolah dasar. Dari apa yang saya alami, cara mengajar guru atau cara guru menyampaikan materi mungkin sama dengan apa yang saya pelajari selama ini, menggunkan lembar kerja, ada diskusi antar siswa, bahkan dibentuk kerja kelompok dimana memungkinkan siswa yang 'lebih unggul' dapat mementori kawan dalam satu kelompoknya, sehingga dalam pembelajaran matematika tidak hanya melulu belajar matematika saja, tapi juga memberikan pelajaran lain, yaitu pelajaran kehidupan di mana adanya bahu membahu dan membantu dalam menyelesaikan suatu problema, terutama berlajar bertanggung jawab atas apa yang dibebankan kepada siswa secara kelompok (berupa soal-soal). Jadi pembelajaran matematika juga membangun kepribadian siswa.

Prestasi belajar matematika di sekolah dasar mungkin masih dianggap kurang, karena matematika masih dianggap sebagai momok paling menakutkan. Selain itu orang tua juga men-statement-kan pada anak, "Kalau nilai matematika kamu bagus, artinya kamu pintar. Sekarang nilai matematika kamu masih jelek, artinya kamu masih belum pintar." Statement seperti ini yang memberatkan anak. Belum lagi sample guru matematika yang identik dengan orang yang kolot dan memiliki sorot mata yang mengerikan, atau sederhananya adalah galak, membuat siswa semakin tertekan. Jika guru matematika mengajarkan materi dengan senang, tanpa gesture dan kata-kata yang membunuh rasa ingin tahu siswa, mungkin saja prestasi belajar matematika siswa lebih baik. Gesture dan kata-kata yang dikeluarkan guru pada siswa bisa membangun kesadaran atau keinginan belajar, atau sebaliknya. Bagaimana bisa anak mencerna, berpikir, dan bertanya jika otaknya berada di bawah ancaman?

Mohon koreksinya :)

Wassalamualaikum w. w.

ICEBERG Structure for Mathematics Learning Process II - Ethnomathemaitcs Reflection

ICEBERG Approach in Realistic Mathematics Mathematics is abstract, I admit that. Until now I still think that mathematics is complicated and always become the ‘unseen’ thing. If I, the university student, still think mathematics is abstract thing, then how about children in elementary school and junior high school? Maybe they will think that mathematics is from the outer-space. Realistic mathematics divides mathematics itself into four kinds: concrete mathematics, concrete model, formal model, and formal mathematics. Concrete mathematics is the lowest mathematics because we use a concrete object to deliver the material. The highest is, of course, the formal mathematics. Formal mathematics is used in university, used by mathematicians. We can say that formal mathematics is the abstract one. To facilitate students to understand the material, teacher can use the ICEBERG method. Here is the construction of ICEBERG. The floating capacity represents the mathematics learning

1.        1. Father has Rp1, 200,000.00 as his salary and reduces 14% tax. Determine father's salary after imposed by tax. (Book 1, page 129) 2.        2. If the price of one dozen of spoons is Rp18, 000.00, how much it cost for 27 spoons? (Book 1, page 187) 3.        3. The perimeter of a garden is 30 meters. The ration between the length and the width of the garden is 3:2. Determine the length and the width of the garden! (Book 1, page 189) 4.        4. Solve the following equation: 9x+4=3x+22 (Book 1, page 145) 5.        5. A tradesman has bought rice from farmer in Rp4, 500.00 for each kilogram. Then he sold it in Rp4, 700.00 for each kilogram. Determine the tradesman's profit if he can sale 90 kilograms of rice! (Book 1, page 123) 1.        1. Father's salary is Rp1, 200,000.00. Assume that his salary is 100%. If we imposed his salary (14%), he has 100%-14% that equals to 86%. So his salary is 86% of Rp1, 200,000.00. It's equals to Rp1, 032,000.00. 2.        2. We

Understanding The Elements Supporting Ethnomathematics I - Ethnomathematics Reflection

Some people think ethno mathematics is not important or not interesting enough. But I think ethno mathematics has its own enchantment. Ethno mathematics gives me the other side of mathematics where mathematics has an interesting history. Knowing that mathematics is used since a long ago makes me feel that mathematics is not an ordinary knowledge. Mathematics is not only a pure knowledge, but also knowledge that has meaning and history. This time Mr. Marsigit gave us a quiz and he asked us to make a reflection from it. This time I knew that Aji Saka is real, not a legend or a story. In communication, there are four dimensions, namely material dimension, formal dimension, normative dimension, and spiritual dimension. Material dimension is a dimension where the communication is built between two persons or more with physical contact. For example when a guy throws a punch to someone else, the dimension is the physical contact, the punch. Formal dimension is a dimension where the comm
