Abstract

Mathematics learning at the college has demanded pre-services mathematics teacher to have high-level mathematical skills including mathematical proofs. Several studies have focused on improving these abilities, but very few focus on the ability to read mathematical proofs. Though this ability that is needed by students in learning mathematical proofs. The purpose of this study is to analyse the ability to read mathematical proofs of students. This research is qualitative research, data obtained through interview and test. There were two problems in geometry given to three students with different abilities. The results show that two of the three students have good the ability to reading the mathematical proof and one student has the ability to reading proof that is lacking. Even though the three students have high mathematical initial knowledge. It can be concluded that students have good the ability to reading proof. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
