RMJT Soehakso, Cocroft, and Eilenberg. Expert opinions should be implemented in the learning of mathematics. However, teachers are still experiencing difficulties in the teaching of mathematics that have not been able to motivate students to learn untu, have not been able to handle differences in mathematical ability of students, and others. It can overcome the teachers start changing teaching methods. Students are the subject of education. He must actively participate in teaching and learning. Teachers assigned to guide students to discover their own mathematical concepts. Teachers prepare student worksheets that encourage students' interest in learning so that students are motivated to learn and learn with joy. Thus, mathematics is not frightening and hated by the students.

In order to interest students in studying mathematics increased, teaching methods centered on the teacher (teacher centered) must be converted into student centered. Teachers should be more democratic and not authoritarian. Teachers as facilitators in charge of fishing initiative of students through student worksheets prepared by teachers so that students actively participate in learning. The learning process is slow and unhurried, so the result is not the only measure of teacher assessment. Teachers also need to assess the learning process of each student. If the teacher made a mistake, he is not ashamed to apologize and admit his mistake in front of students. Conversely, when students make mistakes, teachers should forgive him. Teachers need to implement a variety of learning methods that arouse students' interest and motivation to study comes from within themselves (internal). Teachers should strive to develop teaching methods and with other teachers, developing curriculum. Contextual learning math will be more readily accepted by students as close to their everyday lives.
