I totally agree with the statement that teacher should develop their way/their method of teaching. But i think they also need to think about the student's perspective in order to develop their method in a better way. The better way here, i mean the way that not force their own perspective but more facilitating the student to learn. When they (the teacher) also think about the student's perspective at the time when they develop their method, the teacher can understand what the student want.

Develop the teacher method with that way, can produce a result/ way of teaching that not giving the students a receipt or model but to facilitate them to construct their own math/model

Yeah i'm agree that in mathematics there are two kind of mathematics, that are horizontal math and vertical math. We usually called this with iceberg concept.

The vertical math is the mathematic of the gods (gods here i mean someone who already very expert with math), and the horizontal math is the mathematics in daily life. Which one is children mathematics? Of course it's the horizontal one.

The language in vertical math and horizontal math is completely different. If we use the language of vertical math in horizontal math, it will become a big problem for the children (even it maybe can make the children going crazy). So, when we are have communication about math with children, we must use their language. We should approach them with mathematics of their world.

Once again, it's prove that communication has a very important role. It still number one :)

Mathematics and Language 7

Yeah, like what i said in my comment in mathematics and language 6, we already talked about this (mathematics and language 7) in the english lecture last week. Extremely same :) . Now, i know that reading the article in this blog is very important, cause we can get a knowledge and can improve our english also.  Thank you for mr.marsigit who already facilitate us as your students, so we can improve our english and we can learning too.

I agree with mr.marsigit that marty's concept is not suitable if we apply that in the teaching learning method.. But as a person who also like programming world, i wanna say that marty's work is very incredible. Wow :) .

I think the reason why the concept is not suitable for teaching learning method is because it's use a programming concept. In programming, the concept is more mechanical and formal. Meanwhile the teaching learning method is need concept that more psychological, anthropological and philosophical.

Last but not least, i will say that i very agree with mr.marsigit that communication is the most important one.

I'm interested with Mr.Marsigit statement about Mathematics concepts are kind of models, and the models is about the subject and object.

I still remember very clearly , the meeting with Mr.Marsigit in English lecture two weeks ago. We also talked about this. Mr.Marsigit give a very easy example with a clothes. "I am the subject, and my clothes is the subject. The Clothes is the subject, and the button is the object." wherever the subject go, and whatever is done by the subject, the object will always follow.

So, i agree that it's  very important to decide wisely about who and how our model is constructed.

Mathematics and Language 5

Like what i already said in my comment in 'Mathematics and Language 4' , it is undeniable that pure math and education math is can't be separated. Because pure math need education math to implement their work (find formula, theorem, etc) and the education math implement a pure math's work in their work (teaching, etc).

But, in teaching and learning case, it's true that choose a teacher from education mathematics is better than choose one who has basic as pure mathematics. Because if a pure math become a teacher i think (not all, but most of them) will behave as a teacher that force their own thinking to the student. But the education math (also not all, but most of them) will behave as a teacher who facilitate the student more.

Why? That can happen since Pure math is mainly discuss about the mathematics it self with their theorem and calculation, etc. Meanwhile, education math is also discuss about the mathematics, but they (education math) learn more about how to immplemet it (implement the mathematics it self - in this case implement mathematics as a teacher)
