Teach math is not easy because we find that students are also not easy in learning mathematics. On the other hand found the fact that it is not easy for educators to change the style of teaching. as educators, to constantly adjust our teaching methods in accordance with the demands of changing times.

Revitalization of mathematics education trying to put the important role of teachers to make math education more in line with the (returned to) educate in the sense of meaning in truth and nature of science which is the object of learning itself.

 Revitalization of mathematics education is also an effort in the direction where the practitioners of mathematics education are given the opportunity to conduct self-reflection, to then be faced with a multi-entry decision on the basis of attitude-depth study of a new paradigm has to offer. Recognized that it is not easy to realize the revitalization of education without the awareness and greatness of soul, both macro and micro world of our education. Otherwise the paradigms of mathematics education will remain a utopia that only up to the rhetoric.

Revitalization of mathematics education from the self-reflection and reflection of individual educators factual conditions of practice learning. Such reflection, it is useful to know the positive aspects and shortcomings / weaknesses to be used as input to determine the pace or the attitude toward the new paradigm in education to then try to implement into practice the truth.
