Learning mathematics based on science using didactical phenomenology approach turned out to inspire teachers and students about the importance of mathematics and science in understanding health. Skill and ability of the students to record and present data in table form become a necessity, much less the ability to characterize graphs modeling capabili‐ ties. Ultimately, students are able to interpret the asymptote line as a "death" phenomena, after they are easily interpreting the graph of a straight line in the computer screen of ICCU (Intensive Coronary Care Unit) of a hospital. Similar things can be understood, that when the graph in **Figure 15** turns the curve straight up, then the "ball clay" is difficult to penetrate a sugar solution of 50%, so that the "ball clay" floats, and the time duration for penetrating solution was longer or even never again pierce of 50% sugar solution. The analogy is similar to blood fluid that is no longer able to carry oxygen from the lungs to the brain, so that the mortality occurs as consequences. In classroom, the students were able to give such an inter‐ pretation within discussions. As a consequence, students will be cautious when consuming

In the learning process, when the students are able to observe phenomena, able to represent the data into coordinates or in the ordered pairs, and able to draw its graph, then most stu‐ dents have understanding competencies of mathematics. But the higher competencies such as "mathematical modeling" were still need to be learnt more by students in order to be able to

The phenomenon of the sugar solution is a model that is very attractive; students are invited to think about the solution of the blood in the body. When the blood has been thinned, it is still possible to "carry" the oxygen from the lungs to the brain, the condition is very good and smooth (the graph would be as in **Figure 33a**). When blood viscosity increases, the ability of the blood to carry oxygen decreases, so such symptoms affect the health of the human body. At the time when blood is no longer able to carry oxygen to the brain, the oxygen supply to
