How To Get Students Attention?

I am a fresh graduate university student in majoring Mathematics Education. In other words, I'll be a mathematics teacher. When I was a training teacher at SMAN 1 Magelang, I found difficulty to get my students attention in the middle of learning. Then, I was being silent for awhile and students would curious what was happened. After I got their attention, I began to continue my lesson. Roseboro,  an educator and writer at Grand Valley State University and Calvin College, gave me 2 advice to get students attention.
  1. Students are talking all the time. All you can do is being silent for awhile, then students will wonder what is happening. And when they become quite, you can continue the lesson. DON'T TRY TO TALK ABOVE THEIR TALKING.
  2. If it is not about talk, you can give more explanation about the application of the materials. How to solve daily problems by using mathematics.

Dealing With Stress (Teacher Edition) #1

Stress is a common condition which whoever can be, either teacher or students as well. It happen in Indonesia too. When children can not understand what their teacher taught, they will be bored and complained. And when the exam comes, they won't learn deeply but they make it simple by cheating such as open mathematics book or look their classmates' answer. That's a big NO NO.
I already read an unique article which I found at this site. I'll make it simple and easier to understand how to deal with stress. It said that to deal with stress, we can do these:
  1. Students can CALM and LEARN BETTER if they know exactly what to expect. In other words, they know what the benefit of learning certain material.
  2. EXAMINATION is less stressful if they have gone through a model exam and have been guided to that process. In other words, teacher gives examination that contains material and exercise which given to them before.
  3. CLASS CONFERENCE is important to be held. Teacher can know more about his students' difficulties. Not only students who have difficulties but also parents do. So, they can comfort each other to get the learning goals.
That's all I know about how to deal with stress. If you have questions, you can comment or email me. Thank you.
