 Penggunaan KTSP di sekolah menengah pertama menekankan pada kompetensi siswa. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah daerah harus meningkatkan standar pendidikan daerahnya. Standar kompetensi nasional dijabarkan dalam kompetensi dasar di mana siswa harus benar-benar menguasainya. Pemerintah Indonesia mengembangkan konteks dari proses belajar mengajar sehingga para guru harus dapat mengembangkan keahliannya dengan mengoptimalkan lingkungan sekitar sebagai pendukung aktivitas belajar siswa.

Metode yang digunakan pada KTSP dapat berupa metode diskusi, kerja nyata dan investigasi. Metode-metode ini membutuhkan perhatian lebih dari pendidik untuk mengatasi segala kendala dari penerapan kurikulum.
KTSP masih digunakan di Indonesia karena dianggap sebagai kurikulum yang mampu meng-cover perbedaan kemampuan peserta didik. Pada KTSP pun terjadi banyak perubahan yang pada system belajar-mengajar yang diharapkan bisa membawa pendidikan Indonesia ke arah yang lebih baik.

The concrete thing is manipulated by the student to support the students’ effort in change the concrete thing to abstract one. The student need to given a chance so they can construct and product mathematics by their own language. The standard competence in junior high school that related with fraction learning has the aim to make the student understand about operation properties and how to use it to solve the problem. The development of realistic problem that related with the fraction form such as the fraction and its form, simple fraction, change the fraction that numerator bigger than denumerator become “campuran” fraction, compare the fraction, order the fraction, etc. Reflect from that activity so in the learning fraction by learning mathematics r...

The students are prosecuted to always develop their knowledge and their ability in mathematics. On the other hand, the teacher also prosecuted to improve their teaching skill. There is opinion, “if we want to improve the student’s ability, we must improve the teacher skill first”. This opinion should be advice for the teacher to become better teacher in the future.
