It is not easy to cultivate math in school. Before we cultivate it, we need to know about mathematics education, mathematics learning, thinking of mathatematic, etc.. Katagiri (2004) describes that mathematical thinking involves three aspects: the attitudes of mathematic, the methods of thinking about mathematics and the content. Mathematics attitude shown by the indicators:  pleasure and sincere to learn mathematics, knowledge, curiosity, willingness to ask questions, the willingness to acquire skills and experience of mathematics.
In the effort to learn mathematics, students may need to develop procedures to solve a problem in mathematics. Through these procedures, students will learn mathematical concepts that have been actualized in theirself. Beside that, students should be given opportunities to engage in publications such as assignments or exams. Social interaction among students and teachers can form a critical culture, for the rectification of the wrong concepts.
Mathematics is considered as a language or human creativity. It is means any person have the right to present opinions and develop the potential that exists. In solving math problems each student has different abilities and different targets. So, every students need the opportunity, different treatment, and different facilities. Here a teacher in charge of creating a conducive environment, providing facilities etc.. The teacher's role is a manager, not just an educator.  Next, teachers should be develop a method of learning math, and make variations in teaching  like teaching technique  or reference that used.
Acculturation of mathematics in schools can emphasize the human relationships in the dimensions and appreciate individual differences in both the ability and experience.
