According Ebbutt and Straker (1995):
The students will learn mathematics if they interest and happy with mathematics, they have motivation to know what mathematics is. So, the teacher have to facilitate them, for example offering fun activities, have to know what students want to do, constructing the knowledge whose the students know in their last experiences, etc.
The matters which should be known by teacher are the students learn mathematics in different ways and also different speeds of understanding. So, the teachers should know the skills of the student.
Sometimes, the students need to work in group to share their own knowledge. But in certain case, the students could work individually to train the ability when they want to choose something.
And the last, the teacher maybe need the media for transferring material. Because maybe, with many interesting media, the students will understand the material easily.
