The Summary of article

"Mathematics Lessons from Finland and Sweden-International Comparisons highlight many differences and a few similarities among these two countries and the United States"

To make mathematics easily for student we can learn from Finland and Sweden. Finland has become known worldwide for its steady improvements in its educational system over the past forty years and for high scores in reading, mathematics, and science according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) of fifteen-year-olds conducted every three years since 2000.

Finland and Sweden’s schools system are similar to Indonesia and United States, but upper-secondary schools in Finland (senior high schools in Indonesia) is focused in academics and most students go on to attend a university after finishing. Almost mathematics class in Finland and Sweden are similar to traditional classrooms in United States. After upper secondary schools, students are provided by formulas and book of mathematics, physic and chemistry. Their books are also has the solution of the question. Because of this common resource, the textbooks did seem to have a greater focus on problem solving and applications.

The average annual total teaching time in the Finland and Sweden are lower than in the United States, so teachers has more time to plan curriculum, assess learning, provide remedial help, and reflect on their teaching. One of Finland’s highest goals is equity in their schools and between schools. The cooperation between schools and community is very useful, it’s seem like they required everyone to understand the subject very well. Educational system in Sweden is more accommodating the student to learn what they want to learn, because they impressed the problem solving and it’s focused in a specific field to study.

A standardized assessment in Finland is used to help student learning. A significant difference in Finland is that mathematics teachers in lower-secondary school and upper-secondary school must have a master’s degree in mathematics, whereas preschool and elementary teachers must earn a master’s degree in education. Mathematics  teacher in Finland teach two subjects, and the language subject must teach with two languages. Teaching is a popular career in Finland, it’s because the good cooperation between schools, teachers and community.

            What we needed to make a good education system is the cooperation between its elements, teachers, students and community. Teachers must have a good quality, student must learn about applications of what they learn at schools and the system must gave the accommodations for teachers and students.
