Teach mathematics is not easy because we find that the (infinite) students are also not easy in learning mathematics. It is not there a best way untukmendidik mathematics. Method - appropriate learning methods are as follows:

•  method of exposition by the teacher.
• Method of discussion, between teachers and pupils and between pupils and students.
•  Method of problem solving (problem solving).
•  Method of discovery (investigation)
•  Methods of basic skills training danprinsip principles.
•   Method of application.

Constraints in the application of the above learning methods are:

• understanding of the
• meaning of the theory.
• how to implement it.
• the existing system
• environmental conditions.
•   learning facilities

The nature of learning is to bring together subjective and objective mathematical knowledge through social interaction to obtain, test, represents the new knowledge they have gained. Next will be discussed what is the nature of learning mathematics. The nature of learning mathematics are as follows:

1.      Mathematics is the search activity patterns and relationships.
 The implication of this view of the efforts of teachers are:

• Gives students the opportunity to conduct discovery and investigation of the pattern - the pattern to determine the relationship.
• provide an opportunity for students to experiment with a variety of ways.

2.      Mathematics is the creativity that requires imagination, intuition and invention.
The implication of this view of the efforts of teachers are:

•  Encourage  students to discover mathematical structures and designs.
• Encourage  students to other students who appreciate the discovery.
• Encourage  students to think reflexively.
• Do not recommend the use of a  particular method.

3.       Mathematics is a problem solving activity
The implication of this view of the efforts of teachers are:

•  Provide  an environment that stimulates learning math mathematical problem.
•  Help  students to solve mathematical problem using his own way. 
•    Help  students find the information needed to solve mathematical problems.

4.       Mathematics is a tool to communicate
The implication of this view of the efforts of teachers are:

•   Encourage students to recognize the nature of mathematics.
• Encourage  students to make an example the nature of mathematics.
•   Encourage  students to  explain the nature of mathematics.
•   Encourage  students to give reasons for the necessity of  mathematical activities.
• Encourage  students to discuss mathematical problems.  
• Encourage  students to read and write mathematics.
