What I've Done and What I'll Do about Improving My Compentence of English for Mathematics?

When Mr. Marsigit ask that question to me, I immediately to think hard. After that, I get numerous answers to the first question.What I've done about improving my competence of English for Mathematics?
It's hard question for me. When I was in senior high school, I tried to improve my English skills (reading,writing,speaking,listening,etc) used some ways such as:

• learn a new word every day
• watch an English Film at least once a month
• change my computer and mobile phone language settings from Indonesian to English
• Watching TV in English helps a lot
• Join an English course
• Read novels, books, newspapers, magazines which can enrich my vocabulary and help me with structure, I don't try to understand every word but I try to understand the overall meaning of a sentence of passage
• If I'm to tired to activity practice just relax and listen to some English for songs or radio stations

Now, I'm not student of Senior High School. I'm student of university study program Mathematics. That means, I should can communicate mathematics in English. I've more responsibility to study hard. I'll study more hard to improve my competence of English for Mathematics. Reading mathematics book is the first step that I do, then I write down the words I don't know. After that, translate them. It will be more difficult but never impossible.

I would like to read mathematics book because it will enrich my vocabulary. Make a habit of reading book regulary mathematics book as many as I can find. Again that should be fun to make sure the books I choose are not too difficult for me. It's great idea. To reach the goal, I must have motivate .

Book Review

PREFACE

First of all, we be grateful to Allah because we still given ability to review Mathematics for Junior High School year VIII. We would like to thank to Mr Marsigit who give us opportunity to review Mathematics for Junior High School year VIII.

There are some benefit that we get while review Mathematics for Junior High School such as be remember with grammar and tenses, know more about the different between curriculum mathematics now and 6 year ago, etc.

We hope this review book useful. It is intended to students and teachers of Junior High School year VIII as an opinion before buy mathematics book.

To release of this review book has been made possible due to the assistance and contributions of various people who cannot mention one by one. To all who involved in this preparation of this review book, I would like to express my high appreciation and gratitude.

Comments and suggestions to improve the contents of this review book are always welcome.

I.CONTENT

There are 7 chapters in this book. All of them are used to learn mathematics for junior high school year VIII. The material divided into 2 units; that is:
UNIT I : Algebra
Chapter:
1. Algebra and its Applications
2. The Relation and Functions
3. The Equations of a Straight Line
4. The System of Linear Equations in two variables
UNIT II : Geometry and measurement
Chapter:
5. The Pythagorean Theorem
6. A Circle
7. Polyhedral
I think, the content of this book is complete enough. There is a previous in every chapter that make the readers know what will they learn in that chapter. All of the chapters are arranged by some subtitle. It is complete with the definitions, examples (and its problem solving), and more exercise. To remember the material or some formula there is an “be remember” in some page in every chapter. It’s content some formula or material briefly. So, it can help the reader (especially the students) to remember the materials of every study easily.

Beside the exercise of every subtitle, there is an exercise in the end of every chapter that content of some mathematics problems suitable to the material of every chapter. There are 20 multiple choices problems and 5 essays. At the end of every unit, there is an evaluation. This book also be completed with “final evaluation” at the last part. Student must solve 30 multiple choices problems and 10 essays.

Generally, this book is very good and interest for student year VIII. Its content is suitable to the curriculum of study in junior high school in Indonesia at this moment (suitable to KTSP) . The problem in the exercise and evaluations are realistic problems. We can find the problems in our daily activities. So, it makes the student can imagine and solve the problem easier.

The excellence of this books is because it is a bilingual books. So, there are two languages (Indonesian and English language) in one book. Every Indonesian page translate to English directly. It is very useful, because with reading this books, students not only can improve their mathematics skill and knowledge but also develop their English. I think this book is suitable to some school to be world class school in Indonesia (school with international school standardization).

Over all, the content of this book is complete enough and simple (not too difficult to understand all of material mathematics on it). The point plus of this book is about it bilingual. So, I recommend this book to all of student year VIII in Indonesia. I hope it can help you to learn mathematics easier.

II. PROBLEM

In this book, there are seven chapters. There are exercises in each chapter. In this book also existed three evaluations : evaluation 1 available after 5 chapter, evaluation 2 available after last two-chapter and evaluation final available in the end. Evaluation was made to examine how far the students understand the substances which are in this book.

In this book there are the problem examples which are clarified in each chapter. The problem examples which are given consist of substances which are stated. In examples is given many examples problem solving which is enable the students to choose the easiest way. there are problem solving. After given examples, there are exercises for students. The form of exercises is varied and still consist all of the substances. Method of problem solving is stated and sequential.

IV. INTEREST

Mathematics for Junior High School year VIII which is written by Mr. Marsigit is different from the other mathematics book commonly. This book is published in bilingual edition (Indonesian-English). We can get many advantages by learn this book such as get mathematics knowledge. The students of junior high school year VIII also can increase vocabulary owing to mathematics.
This Book is suitable used to the students or teachers of international school standardization and students which want to continue their studies abroad. On the other hand, this book will inspire them to study better.

Not all people like reading book with black-white color. Some prefer like reading full color book. Mathematics junior high school year VIII as a full color book that will stimulate students more interest to study. Talk about the substance , this book explain the substances clearly. In the end of chapter, there is exercise which consist of 30 multiple choices and 10 essay. The purpose is students can apply what has been him learn. This book has some of ancient mathematician story such Al-Khwarizmi.
