The practical teaching unit in a high school general mathematics course should certainly involve more than one or two skills or processes, if possible. Ideally, too, practice in computation should be attained by use of techniques other than drill, since students, by the time they reach the ninth grade, often fail to profit from drill-type activities.

Basic Characteristics

One of the most difficult problems faced by every teacher, new or experienced, is that of getting a class started at the outset of a term. This problem is even more difficult when one faces a nonacademic group of students with their all-too-frequent hostility toward mathematics. This problem manifests itself especially in the ninth grade, where many students enter the course with a dislike built up by eight years of failure in the elementary and junior high school grades. Before offering some concrete suggestions for handling the situation, it is advisable to examine these youths and determine their basic characteristics and needs.

This study analyzed the stories contained in the ninth graders’ textbook and interviewed three teachers from different junior high schools related to their teaching practice. After analyzing the data, it was revealed that there are only two Indonesian stories and four western stories as the material in the ninth grade of junior high school’s textbook; those Indonesian and western stories have different characteristics of moral values in several aspects as the result of the classification of the stories; and the different classification of the stories bear the different treatments in teaching moral values contained in the stories.

Reflection and translation material are critical to be mastered by students in learning transformation material. However, reflection and translation material are still difficult for students to understand. Therefore, this study aims to develop a learning trajectory that will assist ninth-grade students of Junior High School in grasping the notion of reflection and translation in the context of the Sam Poo Kong Temple in Semarang.
