School mathematics is the branch of mathematics that modifier to get easy understand for younger students. We cannot give the nature of mathematics to younger student, because they will confuse and difficult to understand. The branch of mathematics that useful and match for younger students just school mathematics. In school mathematics, the object in nature mathematics changes and modify to the real object that can we watch. For example, cycle in nature mathematics modify and use real thing as coin, square as floor, cube as box, and etc. With this method, student can understand the object of mathematics easily.
In school mathematics, to teach mathematics to younger students, the younger students should not to adapt with mathematics, but mathematics should adapt to younger students. The easy-going mathematics adept with younger student world. There are some element to get harmony between mathematics and younger student. Harmony is the important things to scrape two different things. If there someone that cannot adept with his/her environment, he/her will expel by the environment.
To more know about school math we must know the definition. The definitions of school mathematics according to E. Bud and Striker in 1995 are:
1. Mathematics is source of pattern and relationship
2. Mathematics is investigation
3. Mathematics is problem solving
4. Mathematics is main of communication
And there are some elements to learn mathematics effectively, first is motivation. Motivation to learn mathematics here, grow from his/her self not from the other people. The second is collaboration with other. Collaboration with other is needed to solve the problem that we cannot understand. The third is learning individually. Beside we can collaboration with other, we must can learn individually to teach our self solve problem by our self not rely on other people. And the last is learning contextually.
The way to get good teaching school mathematics is we need to change the paradigm of teaching. The old paradigm is supposing the students as an empty barrel. The method of teaching is just transfer of knowledge from teacher to students, just give and direct. It is the traditional method of teaching. This paradigm is not compatible for this age. We must change into the new paradigm of teaching. In the new paradigm of teaching, the students are supposing as seed and they will grow and in the next time they will produce fruit. The teacher just as facilitator and (constructivism) invite the student to grow by their self.
