Mathematics and Language 5

 I think mathematics education and pure mathematics is different, but both are interrelated and can’t be separated. Pure mathematics is the basis for mathematics education and mathematics education is how to introduce mathematics to the students. In mathematics education, teachers must be innovative to changes and development of students in accordance with the latest trends. I think the teachers not only facilitate the students but also introduces material that will be studied. If this is associated with pure mathematics, it will only endangering the students, and the students certainly will not like mathematics because they think mathematics is so difficult and confusing.
