Mathematics is often said to be difficult by some students,especially for students whose abilities below the average.Mastery of the material by students who like it tend to be slow andtime consuming, so for those students whose abilities above the average, of course it is very disturbing. But what else to do,teachers still waiting for all students understand the materialpresented. So inevitably, teachers still use ekpositori methods,which are supposed to pursue the material. But as we know, such methods are not effective when applied at math, so the teacher must have alternative choices other methods, such as: methods of discussion, problem solving, investigation, and basic trainingprinciples, and application. Here the teacher should at least havea guide in teaching mathematics in these conditions, the guidelines that mathematics is the search activity patterns andrelationships, mathematics is the creativity that requiresimagination, intuition, and discovery, mathematics is problem solving, and mathematics is a tool of communication. So thatmathematics can be taught in a more interesting then give adviceon the implementation of learning mathematics, through the preparation stage, the stage of learning, and evaluation stage is critical.
The preparation stage involves teaching and learning environment to plan and plan activities. Learning phase includesdeveloping the role of teacher and set the time to whom and when doing math activities together / not together. Evaluation phase involves observing students' activities, evaluate, assesspengertaian, processes, skills, facts and results, monitoringresults and assess student progress.
