9.      English is a language and language is communication.

10.  Learning English for Mathematic education is consist of speaking, reading, writing, seeing, translating, showing, listening, understanding, answering, etc.

1.      Weekly test consists of vocabulary, grammar, and generally text.

3.      Online Reflection.

4.  Online activity such as commented in Mr. Marsigit blog (marsigitenglish.blogspot.com or powermathematics.blogspot.com). 1 comment, 1 point.

5.      Presentation. In this activity we must search and download the recording Mathematic Education teaching in English version then we must practice it.
