Acculturation of mathematics in school can begin with defining the essence of school mathematics. Ebbutt, S and Straker, A., (1995) defines school mathematics as:
(1) activity is an activity tracking mathematical patterns and relationships,
(2) mathematical activities require creativity, imagination, intuition and invention,
(3) activities and results of mathematics needs to be communicated,
(4) activities are part of the problem solving mathematical activities,
(5) algorithm is a procedure to obtain the answers to math problems, and
(6) social interaction is required in mathematical activities.

Mathematics can be thought of as a language, human creativity. Personal opinions are highly valued and emphasized. Students have the right of individuals to protect themselves and their experiences and develop according to its potential. The ability to do math problems is individualized. Learning theory based on the assumption that every student is different from one another in the mastery of mathematics. Students deemed to have mental readiness and capabilities vary in studying mathematics. Therefore each individual need the opportunity, treatment, and the different facilities in the study of mathematics.
Cultivation mathematics learning has implications for the teacher as facilitator as well as possible so that students can learn mathematics optimally. Mathematics was seen not to be taught by the teacher but to be studied by students. Student placed as the central point of learning mathematics Teachers have three main functions: as a facilitator, as a source
teaching and monitoring students' activities.
teaching and monitoring students' activities.
To be able to cultivate an understanding of the meaning of mathematics is needed mathematics in various dimensions. Dimensional mathematical meaning can be seen from the side dimensional mathematical objects to concrete objects and mathematical dimensions to the object- objects of mind. Mathematical communication includes communication materials, formal communication, normative communication and spiritual communication. In relation to learning mathematics then we are more suited to define mathematics as the mathematics
school, but for college-level mathematics we define as formal mathematical or axiomatic. Mathematics can contribute to the Cultivation nation of excellence through innovation learning process conducted on a continuous mathematical constantly. In relation to obtaining the benefits the nation then we can think of mathematics, learning mathematics and mathematics education at different hierarchy level or the level of intrinsic, extrinsic or systemic.
