Practice mathematics at school is interval between aware there are kinds of mathematics dimension, attitude in learning and developing which support by knowledge about method and mathematics content, so because of competent do mathematics activity. Mean mathematics dimension can be looked from side mathematics  for object real things dimension  and mathematics for mind object. Mathematics communication envelop material communication, formal communication, normative communication and spiritual communication. Practice mathematics can contribution in nation superiority through mathematics learning innovation which can be done continuously. In catch for find nation superiority so we can think mathematics, learning mathematics although mathematic education in kinds of level hierarchy or systematic.

Generally, mathematics teacher s concern difficulty to handle the difference of mathematic ability in their students. Lessoning mathematics should give opportunity for teacher to use teaching method that is appropriated with student ability and the subject such as: exposition method by teacher, discussion method between teacher and student and just the opposite, problem solving  method ,investigation method, base accustomed competence method, and implementation method.

The effort to encourage in order that students like about mathematics  and it’s implication about mathematics lesson such as: mathematics is investigation form activity, mathematics is creativity that needed imagination, intuition and invention, mathematics is problem solving activity, and mathematics is communication tool. In order that mathematics can be learned more interesting, implementation learning mathematics by means of steps of preparing, learning, and evaluation as:1)preparing learning step: planning mathematics atmosphere, planning mathematics activity. 2)learning step: developing teacher function, arranging time to who and when do mathematics activity together/not together. 3)evaluation step: inspecting student activity, evaluating myself, valuing understanding, process, fact and result, valuing the result and monitoring student developing.

Concluding remark by: Mita Riana(http://mynamismetha.blogspot.com/)

Many mathematics teachers still implementation of traditional learning mathematic is mathematics learning rely expository methods with the cycle: explained, gave example, asked a question and gave task classically. Such this method  teacher has  difficulty. Teacher difficulty to developing learning mathematic is not appropriate teacher perception about learning mathematic model with the purpose of learning model appropriate  with referenced theory. To solve this difficulty, developing learn method point to mathematics learning should is teachers can create one or some choice methods according dynamic and flexibility: exposition method, discussion method, try and gave task method, developing student worksheet, formed learn  group, developing discussion method, problem solving method and used model mathematics.

The methods of learning geometry  in junior high school is developed as implication effort to reach standard competence and school-based competence as be found in   school-based-curriculum. Developing media in learning geometry  is also fixed by methods and kinds of learning which teachers do. Beside that, now computer already use in schools. Used computer, especially Microsoft word 2007 is one of teacher’s work in exertion source of learning. Use Microsoft Word 2007 as the methods of geometry learning in junior high school will give positive contribution as well for teacher and students. Skill to make base geometry form uses Microsoft Word 2007 can be developed for make geometry form is more complex for example three dimension geometry form.

Used Microsoft Word 2007 is relative easy to use because this software almost in all new computer generation. Used Microsoft word 2007 will increase motivation and enjoy in learning geometry. Used Microsoft word 2007, students can investigate about geometry concept, students can do problem solving activity and also students can communicate the result of problem solving to teacher although to the other friends.

Developing ICT for Primary and Secondary Mathematics Teacher Professional Development: The Use of Video in Lesson Study

Kesimpulan membaca: Mita Riana(mynameismetha.blogspot.com)  

Menggunakan video tape recorder (VTR) adalah salah satu aspek mengembangkan ICT pada guru professional. Guru merasa mengajar dengan VTR merupakan model baik yang dapat diterapkan di Indonesia. Pandangan guru mengenai VTR antara lain VTR adalah model pembelajaran matematika yang baik, VTR harus disosialisasikan kepada guru lainnya, pengajaran menggunakan VTR masih ada beberapa ketidaksesuaian dalam penerapan  disebabkan guru kekurangan waktu, tidak kesiapan siswa, keterbatasan anggaran dan kurangnya fasilitas. Guru sangat optimis dapat mengimplementasikan model pengajaran VTR dengan  menambah waktu mengajar dan mengembangkan persiapan belajar.

Guru mencoba memperbaiki pengajaran dengan cara antara lain: memperbaikai persiapan belajar,lembar kerja siswa, isi pengajaran dan metodologi pengajaran. Kebanyakan dari siswa tidak dapat menyajikan gagasan/pikirannya, membutuhkan waktu untuk membiasakan melakukannya. Kebanyakan sekolah masih kekurangan fasilitas dan guru harus dapat mengembangkan media pembelajaran. Salah satu yang paling sulit adalah menerapkan kebiasaan mengajar tentang alokasi waktu.  

Sekolah dan pemerintah harus mendukung pengembangan profesional guru termasuk kesempatan untuk memperoleh pelatihan untuk berpartisipasi di kelompok guru. Dikelompok ini guru dapat membicarakan dan mengembangkan rencana  pembelajaran dan lembar kerja siswa. Selain itu  sekolah dan pemerintah seharusnya memberi fasilitas pendidikan dan kenaikan gaji guru profesional.
