This study aims to describe the mathematical communication of prospective teachers in learning mathematics. The research was conducted in SMAN 1 Pamekasan. The subject of this research is the students of PLP from the Mathematics Education Department of Madura University. The mathematics prospective teacher's learning is using the concept of function limits and the derivative of functions in problem-solving (calculus). This is descriptive qualitative research conducted by interviews, field notes, and video recordings. The results of this study found that prospective teachers were able to represent and analyse the situation and mathematical structure using algebraic symbols and using various symbolic representations, provide understanding of numbers, how to represent numbers, representations between numbers, and number systems, train their students to understand the meaning of operations and how they relate to each other and use good language when explaining the subject matter so as to adapt to students' level of understanding so that symbols, procedures, and strategies can be well understood. Mathematical communication of prospective teachers in learning mathematics can be applied in other aspects of the wider world. © 2019 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
