It is a Must That I Have a Competence in English for Mathematics Education

In this globalization era, English as a universal language is very important for every think especially to communicate with other. Me as a student in Mathematics Education is very need to teach English. English is a important because a lot of references use English, such as the original book from abroad or the reference from Internet is also use English too. Some lecturers use English to give their subject. And English is also a language in mathematics test at my academy.
English is also need in job activity, relating to Internet, computer, international corresponded, international interaction, etc. Beside that when I graduate from mathematics education I would find a job as a mathematics teacher or an official.
Before I get the job I must have a TOEFL test, to evaluate my English capability And If I teach in international school, of course I must be able in English spoken to explain the subject and written to give handout and written test. As an official I use English to operate computer, in the internet interaction. My English must be active international interaction. Now many company searching officer capable to speak, write and read English to support their company.
Beside that to operate the electronic gadget we must be able to read or learn English because the instruction to operate the gadget is in English. And sometime in conversation, the people use English and I have to know meaning of the people say, so I must to can speak English too. Or if I want to read novel which not yet been translated in Indonesian language I also should be able to read English. Beside that If I listening English song. I must know the meaning of the song. And I write the lyrics and try to translate in Indonesian language. So English is very important for every one in this globalization era including too mathematics education.

WHAT I HAVE DONE AND WHAT I WILL DO ABOUT ENGLISH FOR MATHEMATICS

The big question for me about English for mathematics is what I have done and what I will do about English for mathematics? I fell confused to answer this question because I fell not yet do anything is important about English for mathematics.
Now I was study about English for mathematics at Mr. Marsigit class that is English Part II Class. Besides of study about English for mathematics I also get more knowledge from his experience in international. He always given his experience even he teaching in his class and he can be an inspiration for his student. He always tells about his conception and international conception about education in Indonesian.
Maybe I need more much of time for me to can do something for English for mathematics. Which I can do now is must study hard so that I can develop mathematics education in Indonesian and than it can to be equal with international standard.
To proof the progressive education in Indonesian, the government has prepare the facility such as the school with international based and also the teacher which must be understand about English. And to proof this program UNY has open the international class to prepare the teacher so that they ready to teaching in international school.
My hope at the future is can join in this program to make education in Indonesian can be equable with education in other country, because by naturally education in other country is same. That’s all my opinion about what I have done and what I will do about English for mathematics. Thanks for your attentions.

Proof that Square Root of Two is Irrational Number

To proof that square root of two is irrational number, we assuming that square root of two is rational number, that is square root of two equals a over b where a and b as integer prime. So a equals b times square root of two or a square equals two times b square. Because a square is two times an integer number, so a square is integer, so that a is integer too. And than we assuming that a is two times c, so the equation is four times c square equals two times b square or two times c square equals b square. So that b square is integer and b is integer too. But it is impossible because a and b is impossible to integer because they are relative prime number. So assumption that square root of two is rational number has brought us to the impossibility and must be annulled. And it is proofed that square root of two is irrationals number.

Abc Formula to Solve a Square Equation

We know that square equation is a times x square plus b times x plus c equals zero. To get the Abc formula we need some step. Step one, we divide all by a, that is x square plus b over a times x plus c over a equals zero. Step two, we need to insert perfect square into that equation. That is x square plus b over a times x plus open bracket b over two of a close bracket square plus c over a equals b over two times a in bracket square. Step three is x plus b over two times a in bracket square equals b square over four times a square in bracket minus c over a equals b square four times a times c all over four times a square. Step four is x plus b over two times a equals about square root of b square four times a times c all over four times a square. Step five is x equals minus b over two times a about one over two times a in bracket times square root of b square four times a times c equals minus b about times square root of b square four times a times c all over two times a. so the formula is:
x equals minus b about times square root of b square four times a times c all over two times a

How to Find Phi

Egypt has found phi about at 200 BC and the value for phi is 3.16. They get that value from the formula of circles area that is square of open bracket diameter times eight over nine close bracket. We know that diameter or d equals two times radius (r), so we get the formula of circles area is open bracket eight over nine in bracket times two of r close bracket square equals sixty four over eighty one in bracket times four of r square equals three point one six times r square. Long time after that Archimedes at 250 BC using phi, but with a different value that is three point one four like which we use now.

Properties of Logarithm

First, a to the power of m in bracket times a to the power of in bracket equals a to the power of m plus n. Second, a to the power of m all over a to the power of n equals a to the power of m minus n. Third, Log b to the base of a equals n, so that b equals a to the power of n. Fourth, Log a to the base of g equals x, so that a equals g to the power of x. Fifth, Log b to the base of g equals y, so that g to the power of y.
Example:
What is the equivalence of Log a times b to the base of g?
Consequence Log a to the base of g equals x, so that a equals g to the power of x, and Log b to the base of g equals y, so that b equals g to the power of y. So a times b equals g to the power of x in bracket times g to the power of y equals g to the power of x plus y. So that Log a times b to the base of g equals Log g to the power of x plus y to the base of g equals x plus y in bracket times Log g to the base of g. If Log g to the base of g is one, so Log a times b to the base of g equals x plus y in bracket times one equals Log a to the base of g plus Log b to the base of g. So:
Log a times b to the base of g equals Log a to the base of g plus Log b to the base of g

What is the equivalence of Log a over b to the base of g?
Consequence a over b equals g to the power of x all over g to the power of y equals g to the power of x minus y. So than Log a over b to the base of g equals Log g to the power of x minus y to the base of g equals x minus y in bracket times Log g to the base of g equals x minus y in bracket times one equals Log a to the base of g minus Log b to the base of g. So:
Log a over b to the base of g equals Log a to the base of g minus Log b to the base of g

THE TRUTH OF SCHOOL MATHEMATIC AND STUDENT LIKE TO STUDY OF MATHEMATIC

Ebbut and Starker, 1995 to explain that teacher don’t be properly defined of mathematics as an axiomatic mathematic, but as a school mathematic. Some of the truth of school mathematics is:

1. Mathematics is doings the investigation of system and relation.

• To give an opportunity to students to: doings a finding and investigation of system to select a relation. Or can also to doings an attempt with several of method.
• To motivate the students to find an order, difference, comparative, grouping and also to take a conclusion.
• To help the students to understand and find a relation between one of mean and other.

2. Mathematics is creative which need an imagination, instruction and finding invention.

• To motivate an initiative and give an opportunity different think. And also motivate curiosity, wish to ask, potency to protest and potency to recon.
• To value finding which in outside of suppose as a think useful.
• To motivate the students find a structure and design of mathematics, value a finding and thinking of reflexive.
• Don’t suggest using the definite method.

3. Mathematics is creativity of problem solving.

• Provide the atmosphere to study of mathematics that which stimulate an emergence mathematics problem.
• To help the student to divorce mathematics problem use their method and to help the student to know information which used for problem solving of mathematics.
• To motivate the students think logical, consistent, systematic and develop system documentation/ note.
• To develop a potency and skill to problem solving.
• To help the student to know how and when use several of equipment/ media mathematics education like as compass, calculators, etc.

4. Mathematics is materials of communication.

• To motivate the students to know the characteristic of mathematics.
• To motivate the students to make a sample of the characteristic of mathematics.
• To motivate the students to explain the characteristic of mathematics.
• To motivate the students to give a motive be needed activity of mathematics.
• To motivate the students to speaking about problem of mathematics.
• To motivate the students to read and write of mathematics.
• To value the mother language and student in speaking about mathematics.

My Preparation in Participating Marsigit's Lesson of English Part 2

For me, English is difficult lesson because I don't know much about it. So to prepare my self to participated in Marsigit's lesson I must study hard about English. It can I do with created a blog and than I can follow the Marsigit's blog. In his blog I can read some his writing about mathematics or etc. which writing in English. With read writings in Marsigit's blog can be increase my knowladge about English. Beside that I can study dificults word in English with dictionary. It can increase my vocabulary about English. I hope with my perticipated in his class can make me now more about English.
