Abstract
This study aims to describe the ability of mathematics students as prospective mathematics teachers on multiple mathematical representations. Multiple mathematical representation is the ability to present mathematical ideas in various forms namely visual, verbal, and symbolic. The population of this study were students of the mathematics education department at a university located in Mataram, Lombok. Simple random sampling technique was used and 169 students from various class years were selected as the sample. The research instrument was in the form of a multiple mathematical representation ability test which consist of four questions in the form of an essay. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the data were collected through an online platform (daring) which then were analyzed by using descriptive quantitative method. Generally, the data analysis indicated that the ability of multiple mathematical representations of students was 72.73% (moderate). Specifically, it was obtained that (1) the ability of visual representation was 84.22% (high), (2) the ability of verbal representation was 71.73% (moderate), and (3) the ability of symbolic representation was 63.95% (low). It is believed that the low percentage of symbolic representation was influenced by the ability of verbal representation and problem-solving abilities.
