At April 9th 2012, Mr.Marsigit showed video about property of numbers. That video explain about all property of numbers.
1.      The reflextive property of Equality.
A number is equal to it self
Symbolicly : A = A
2.      The symmetric property of equality.
If one value is equal to another, then that second value is the same as the first.
Symbolicly : if A = B then B = A
                                    3 = X then X = 3
3.      The transitive property of equality.
If one value is equal to a second, and the second happens to be the same as a third, then we can conclude the first value must also equal the third.
Symbolicly : if A = B and B = C then A = C
4.      The substitution property of equality.
If one value is equal to another, then the second value can be used in place of the first in any algebraic expression dealing with the first value.
Simbolicly : If A = B then B can be substituted A for any expression
                  If B = A then A can be substituted B for any expression
5.      The additive property of equality.
We can add equal values to both sides of an equation without charging the validity of the equation.
Symbolicly : if A = B then A + C = B + C
                                                        C + A = C + B
6.      The cancelation law of addition.
Symbolicly : C + A = C + B
If we cancel C in the both side B, the final equation A = B
7.      The multiplicative property of equality.
We can multiply equal values to both sides of an equation without charging the validity of the equation.
Symbolicly : A = B (times C in both side)
                               AC = BC
                                CA = CB
8.      The cancelation law of multiplicative.
Symbolicly : AC = BC (both side divide by C)
                                 A = B
9.      The zero – factor property.
If two values that are being multiplied together equal zero, then one of the values, or both of them must equal zero.
Symbolicly : if AB = 0 , there are 3 possibility :
                                     A = 0
                                                             B = 0
                                                            A and B = 0
10.  The law of trichotomy.
For any two values, only one of the following can be true about these values :
Ø  They are equal
Ø  The first has a smaller value than the second
Ø  The first has a larger value than the second
Given any numbers A and B :
                        A = B
                        A < B
                        A > B
11.  The transitive property of inequality.
If one value is smaller than a second, and the second is less than a third, then we can conclude the first value is smaller than the third.
Simbolicly : if A < B and B < C we can conclude A < C
12.  Properties of absolute value.
Symbolicly :  
1. |A| ≥ 0
2. |-A| = |A|
3. |AB| = |A| |B|
4. |A/B| = |A|/|B|  ; (B ≠ 0)
 
                                                            

Properties of numbers :
A.    Closure.
1.      The closure property of addition.
When you add real numbers to other real numbers, the sum is also real.
Addition is a”closed” operation
If A and B is real number, then A+B = a real number.
2.      The closure property of multiplication.
When you multiply real numbers to other real numbers, the product is a real number. Multiplication is a”closed”  operation
If A and B is real number, then A B = a real number

B.     Commutativity.
1.      The commutative property of addition.
It does not matter the order in which numbers are added together.
Symbolicly : A + B = B + A
2.      The commutative property of multiplication.
It does not matter the order in which numbers are multiplied together.
Symbolicly : A B = B A

C.     Associativity.
1.      The associative property of addition.
When we wish to add three (or more) numbers, it does not matter how we group them together for adding purposes. The parentheses can be placed as we wish.
Symbolicly : (A+B)+C = A+(B+C)
2.      The associative property of multiplication.
When we wish to multiply three (or more) numbers, it does not matter how we group them together for multiplication purposes then parentheses can be placed as we wish.
(A.B).C=A.(B.C)
By the way, commutativity & associativity can’t apply substraction & division.

D.    Identity.
1.      The identity property of addition.
There exists a special number called the “additive identity” when added to any other number. Then that order number will still “keep its identity” and remain the same.
Symbolicly : A+0 = A
                    0+A = A
2.      The identity property of multiplication.
There exists a special number, called the “multiplicative identity” when multiplied to any other number, then that other number will still “keep its identity” and remain the same.
Symbolicly : A . 1 = A
                    1 . A = A
So, 0 is the unique additive identity.
       1 is the unique multiplicative identity .

E.     Inverse.
1.      The inverse property of addition.
For every rela number, ther exists another real number that is called its opposite. Such that, when added together, you get the additive identity (the number zero).
Symbolicly : A + (-A) = 0
                   (-A) + A = 0
2.      The inverse property of multiplication.
For every real number, except zero there is another real number that is called its multiplicative inverse or reciprocal, such that when multiplied together, you get the multiplicative identity (the number one)
Symbolicly : A . 1/A = 1
                  1/A . A = 1
Zero has not multiplicative identity.

F.      Distributive.
1.      The distributive law of multiplication over addition.
Multiplying a number by a sum of numbers is the same as multipliying each number in the sum individually, then adding up our products.
Example : 5(7+3) = 5(10)
                              = 50 …….(1)
                  5(7)+5(3) = 35+15
                                   = 50 ……(2)
                  1&2 is same
The formula : A(B+C) = AB+AC
                        (A+B)C = AC+BC
2.      The distributive law of multiplication over subtraction.
The formula : A(B - C) = AB - AC
3.      The general distributive property.
Example : 2(1+3+5+7) = 2.1+2.3+2.5+2.7
                                      = 2+6+10+14
                                      = 32
The formula :a(b_1+b_2+b_3+b_4+…+b_n)
             ab_1+ab_2+ab_3+ab_4+…+ab_n
4.      The negation distributive property.
If you negate (or find the opposite) of a sum, just “change the signs” of whatever is inside the parentheses.
The formula : -(A+B) = (-A)+(-B)
                                    = -A-B

At previous meeting, Mr. Marsigit showed some video about mathematics education. Among other things about Word Problems. In video 1, we can learn how to solve word problems use an acronym BUCK$ to solve word problems. BUCK$  is Box the question, Underline the info needed, Circle the vocabulary, Knock out un-needed info. We use the BUCK$ system to simplify, organize and solve the problem. Academic Vocabulary very important to solve word problems. Then in Video 2, also explained again about to solve word problems in mathematic. In this case, some of basic things to think about where training how to solve the word problem is to figure out what is the fact and what is being else for.   
From video 3, we learn how to solve puzzles and riddles otherwise known as word problems using two variables. An example the problem is a first number plus twice a second number is 23. Twice the first number plus the second number is 31. Find the number. Then we solve this, suppose the first number is x and the second number is y. From the information, we can get the equation x + 2y = 23 and the second equation is 2x + y = 31. From equation 1 we get x = 23 – 2y. Then, we substitute the value of x in the second equation. We get 2(23-2y) + y =31. Then, we calculate 46 – 4y + y = 31. After that we get -3y = -15. So, the value of y = 5. Then we find the value of x is 13. Finally, we get the first number is 13 and the second number is 5.
In video 4, we learn about properties of log. Properties of logarithms is :
a.      log_b x=y ↔ b^y=x.
b.  log_10 x=log x ;log_e x= ln x
c.  log_b (M ∙N)= log_b M + log_b N
d.  log_b M/N= log_b M - log_b N
e.  log_b x^n= n log_b x
      From the properties above, we can solve this problem : 
1.   log_10 100=x. The value of x is 10^x=100. So, x = 2.

2.  log_2 x=3. The value of x is 2^3=x. So, x =8.

3.  log_7 (1/49)=x  ↔ 7^x=1/49
                               ↔ 7^x= 1/7^2
                               ↔ 7^(x)= 7^(-2)
                               ↔ x= -2

At March 19th 2012, Mr.Marsigit showed some videos about mathematical content. That videos purpose to employ VTR to learn English for Mathematics Education. In video 1, we learn about derivative notation.  We know that notation for derivative is f’(x) is read f prime of x. We also can say y’, because f (x) and y are interchangeable. Finally, we get dy/dx . Key word in derivative is slope of tangent line at point. We can get slope of a line = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). From the definition of derivative, we get f'(x)=lim(h→0) (f(x+h)-f(x))/h. Derivative just not limit of a slope it is also limit change in values of f(x) over change in x or instantaneous rate of change.

In the next video, we learn about angle. Angle is made up of two rays connected at the same point. First ray drawn to form an angle is called initial side. Second ray drawn to form an angle is called terminal side. Vertex is point where initial and terminal sides meet. Two ways to measure an angle :
1. By the direction terminal side goes in
    If terminal side rotates in counter clockwise direction then positive angle.
    If terminal side rotates in clockwise direction then negative angle.
2. How far the terminal side rotates from the initial side
When measuring an angle we want both the initial and terminal sides on top of one another on x-axis, vertex of two rays at the origin of graph. When an angle’s vertex is at origin of graph and initial side is on positive x-axis the angle is in standard position. X-axis is positive on right side of y-axis and negative on other side but y-axis is positive above x-axis and negative below it.
Two measure an angle in radian and degrees.
   
From the third video, we learn about Trigonometry. Trigonometry is arranged from triangle and meter. From the triangle, we can get about sinus, cosinus and tangent. The formula of Sinus is opposite/hypotenus , Cosinus is adjacent/hypotenus and Tangent is opposite/adjacent. Usually, we can remember it by acronym SOH CAH TOA. In the next video, we learn about inverse function. From this video, we know how to get inverse from a function and how we sketch the graph. Then, in next video we learn about integer. Integer numbers is whole numbers and their negatives. Integer numbers can divide be 3 kinds. First, positive numbers. The second is zero and the third is negative numbers. In the sixth video, we study about factoring polynomials. How we can factorize the polynomial.

Exercise No.1 Page 95 Mathematics for Junior High School 2
1.Determine the line equation through point (0,0) and has gradient :
a.12
b.16
c.-3
Solution :
a.m=12
 Since the line through point (0,0) then generally the line has equation y=mx. Given m=12, thus the line equation is y=12x.
b.m=16
 Since the line through point (0,0) then generally the line has equation y=mx. Given m=16, thus the line equation is y=16x.
c.m=-3
 Since the line through point (0,0) then generally the line has equation y=mx. Given m=-3, thus the line equation is y=-3x.

Exercise No.3 Page 95 Mathematics for Junior High School 2
2.Find the equation of a line through point (0,0) and is perpendicular to a line whose gradient of -1/6 .

Solution :

Since, general equation of line a is y =mx. Known the line a is perpendicular with another line with gradient of -1/6. Since the multiple gradient result of the two perpendicular line is -1, then the line gradient of a is 6. So, the line equation of a is y=6x.

3.The price of 2kg of oranges and 3 kg mangos is Rp 38,000.00. Determine the price of 1 kg of orange if known that 1 kg of mango is Rp7,000.00

Solution :
Change the given information in the word problem into mathematical expression. For instance, let 1 kg orange in a and 1 kg mango in b. Accordingly, 2kg of oranges in 2a and then 3kg of mangos is 3b. Therefore we will get an LETV of 2a+3b=38.000. Fom the information we know that b=7.000. Subtitute b=7.000 to the equation of 2a+3b=38.000, thus resulting
↔2a+3(7.000)=38.000
↔2a+21.000=38.000
↔2a=38.000-21.000
↔2a=17.000
↔a=8.500
So, the price of 1 kg of orange (a) = Rp 8.500,00

Exercise No.1 Page 45 Mathematics for Junior High School 3
4.In the afternoon, the length of student’s shadow that has 150cm high is 50cm. If at the same time, the length of the tower’s shadow is 10cm, what is the height of the tower ?

Solution :
The student’s height is 150cm, the length of the student’s shadow is 50cm, and the length of tower’s shadow is 10m (1000cm). The height of the students corresponds to the height of the tower. The length of student’s shadow corresponds to the length of the tower’s shadow so that he proportion the corresponding sides is : 

(the height of the tower)/(the height of the student)=(the length of the tower's shadow)/(the length of the student's shadow)
Let the height of tower is h cm, so by using the proportion in similarity, we get :
h/150=1000/50 ↔ 50h=1000×150
                    ↔ 50h=15.000
                    ↔ h=15.000/50
                    ↔ h=300
So, the height of the tower is 300cm=3m.

5.In a shelve, there are Mathematic books, Indonesian Language books, and Physics books with the ratio of 4∶2∶3. Determine the numbers of Physics books and Mathematical books if the Indonesian Language books is 6 books. 

Solution :
The ratio among Mathematic books, Indonesian language books, and physics books is 4∶2∶3. The number of Indonesian Language books is 6 books. 
The number of Indonesia Language books =  (ratio of indonesia language books)/(total ratio)×total books
6                 =  2/9  ×total books
6× 9/2         = total books
27                 = total books
From that we know that the total number of books is 27 books.
So the number of Math books = (ratio of math books)/(total ratio)×total books 
                                                = 4/9×27 = 12 books
The number of Physics books = (ratio of physics books)/(total ratio)×total books
                                              = 3/9×27 = 9 books
