Students will learn math if they have the motivation, with implications for research and learning that teachers need to: provide a fun activity, attention desires of students, build understanding through what is known by students, creating classroom atmosphere that supports learning, provide activities that are consistent with the objectives learning, providing challenging activities, provide activities that give expectations of success, valuing each student achievement. Pupils learn mathematics with own way, which implies that: students learn in unique ways and likely different from the others, each student requires a special experience connected with his experiences in the past, each student has a socio-economic background-different cultures. with implications for research and learning, therefore, implications for learning mathematics is that teachers need to: know the advantages and shortage of their students, plan activities appropriate to the level of student ability, build knowledge and skills that he acquired a good student at school and at home, and use records of student progress (assessment)
Pupils learn math either independently or through cooperation with his friend, which implies that teachers need to: provide learning opportunities within the group to train co-operation, provide learning opportunities in the classical style to give opportunity to exchange ideas, provide the opportunity for students to perform activities independently, involving students in decisions about activities that going to do, and teaches how to learn mathematics. Pupils need contexts and different situations in studying mathematics, which implies that teachers need to: provide and use various props, giving the opportunity to learn mathematics in different places and circumstances, provide an opportunity to use mathematical for various purposes, develop the attitude of using mathematics as a tool for solve problems both at school and at home, appreciate the contribution of tradition, culture and art in the development of mathematics, and help students assess their own activities math.
With Mathematic Learning Research we can knowing about an individual and group different in teaching learning of mathematic, we can conclude the students position in group, we can compare the value between the group. from the research, we can conclude, what the standart competence is is doing right?. The results of research can to be use for make the renewal program, lesson, giving information for the people. Beside that, we also can to compare between performance and kriteria for each programs dimension and improve the program and inference the results of mathematic education as a whole.
