Abstract


This paper discusses about mathematical representation ability of students prospective Math teacher. Math teacher ideally has the ability to integrate mathematical thinking skill in their every learning process. The importance of mathematical representation ability developments are in line with the importance of mathematical competence mastery for the students’ life. The use of developing mathematical representations ability are (1) students can present their opinion or idea by verbal, symbol, table, graph and diagram, (2) students canfind the close correlation between the branches of Math. In case mathematical representation ability, it was known that students had understood the concept well but had not been able to give structured and systhematic reason. For the mathematical representation ability, it was known that the lack of two skills is caused by (1) students had not used to give reason correspond to the structured and systemathic concept; they tend to answer it directly by giving direct illustration with numbers. (2) Students forgot the argument stages in explainiing a mathematical concept.
