Mathematics is a highly abstract subject. As a mathematical ability, the ability to use the language of mathematical symbols is the fundamental skillin learning mathematics, and it plays a significant part in student’subsequent algebra studies. From practical teaching experiences and prior studies, the thesis concludescurrent problems with the language of mathematical symbols in class teaching, which include: (1). Teachers cannot express with the language of mathematical symbols; (2). Teachers cannot standardize the language of mathematical symbols, (3). Teachers cannot utilize the language of mathematical symbols to develop students' symbol senses. Accordingly, the author recommends three methods to improve teachers’capacity of using the language of mathematical symbols so that students' symbol senses can be enhanced.
