The main purpose of this study is to analyse the usage and understanding of mathematical terminologies and mathematical symbols in terms of language for the students in the high school, and to provide an effective teaching guidance to enlarge the correct concept of mathematical terminologies and symbols. We choose 121 high-school students in 4 classes. After the application of activity papers and questionnaire, we analyze the answers about their usage and understanding about mathematical terminologies and mathematical symbols. The abstractness and concreteness of mathematical terminologies yield the causes of misunderstanding to students. To enlarge the concept of the correct mathematical terminologies and symbols, teachers must prepare historical and real-life-based activities and have careful concern to the students.
