The first point is to teach mathematics in a simple and practical manner and explaining the theory of each new material as clear as posible, showing students how they can use it in their daily live.
The second point is to avoid teaching mathematics in a superficial manner, this means without a clear theoretical explanation of the importance of ieach topics and avoiding the study of mathematics by the students in a practical manner and through making a lot of exercises.
The third point is to use practical examples on how mathematics can help students in finding solutions of real problems in their future life as professionals or technicians.
The fourth points is to teach mathematics as an important tools to understand other materias such as physics, chemistry, engineering, among others.
