My Perception about Mathematics
I never thought that I will learn mathematics deeply. When I was in high school, I always think that mathematics was the complicated subject. I was proud of my math teacher because she could answer all of the questions of students. I ever thought that I never could be like her. It was because there were many things that I didn’t understand in math at that time.
I remember when I was in ninth grade, my sister helped me to learn math in order to face The National Exam. She was “killer”, she ever asked me to solve 40 questions in math. Then, if I couldn’t do it perfectly I might not sleep. She gave me many tips and tricks to solve the problems of mathematics. Finally, I got the high score in math.
In a high school I really wanted to be accepted in science class. Then I pushed myself to learn math, physics and chemistry. When I was accepted science class I thought that my goal had been achieved. It made me lazy and never listened to my teacher’s explanation. It happened again that I needed anybody’s help to learn math in order to face The National Exam. Although finally my math score was not high, I was still satisfied because my effort was not big.
Then I heard about SSE. I was not really sure that I‘ll be a mathematics educator and learn math deeply. I’ll come up to the class and answer my students’ questions. Atmosphere in SSE, such as my friends’ attitude and my teachers’ ways in delivering the materials, made me to see mathematics from different side. It changes my perception that mathematics was the complicated subject. Now, I think there are many students who have a perception like my first perception about math. Then my role is to change students’ perception about mathematics.
