Page 5: Visual Representations. Yet another evidence-based strategy to help students learn abstract mathematics concepts and solve problems is the use of visual representations. More than simply a picture or detailed illustration, a visual representation—often referred to as a schematic representation or schematic diagram— is an accurate ...
Using Visual Representations in Mathematics
Visual representations are a powerful way for students to access abstract mathematical ideas. To be college and career ready, students need to be able to draw a situation, graph lists of data, or place numbers on a number line. Developing this strategy early during the elementary grades gives students tools for engaging with—and ways of ...
The Power of Visualization in Math
Thinking about many possible visual representations is the first step in creating a good one for students. The Progressions published in tandem with the Common Core State Standards for mathematics are one resource for finding specific visual models based on grade level and standard. In my fifth-grade example, what I constructed was a sequenced ...
The Epistemology of Visual Thinking in Mathematics
Visual thinking is widespread in mathematical practice, and has diverse cognitive and epistemic purposes. This entry discusses potential roles of visual thinking in proving and in discovering, with some examples, and epistemic difficulties and limitations are considered. Also discussed is the bearing of epistemic uses of visual representations ...
Why is Visualization Important for Learning Mathematics?
As teachers, complete the mathematical tasks yourselves, a key component of Math for All, to explore and understand the various physical models, visual representations, and symbolic processes that can be developed in support of the mathematical content. Value the concrete models and pictures of the mathematical content in a similar way to how ...
The role of visual representations in scientific practices: from
The use of visual representations (i.e., photographs, diagrams, models) has been part of science, and their use makes it possible for scientists to interact with and represent complex phenomena, not observable in other ways. Despite a wealth of research in science education on visual representations, the emphasis of such research has mainly been on the conceptual understanding when using ...
Understanding Without Words: Visual Representations in Math, Science
The first one considered the importance of visual representations in science and its recent debate in education. It was already shown by philosophers of the Wiener Kreis that visual representation could serve for a better understanding and dissemination of knowledge to the broader public. As knowledge can be condensed in different non-verbal ...
PDF How to Make 'More' Better? Principles for Effective Use of Multiple
(multiple) visual representations lead to better learning outcomes. This article seeks to close a gap between prior research on learning with visual representations that has, by and large, focused on learning with text and a single type of visual representation (see Rau, 2016), and the
Mathematical Representations: A Window into Student Thinking
Representations are windows into student thinking and reasoning. In a time of virtual classrooms, using visual representations is more complex, but as important as ever. If a teacher values students' thinking, they need to consider how to make it possible for all students to represent that thinking. This article addresses the use of representations and the questions that help students ...
The role of visual representations in the learning of mathematics
The teacher's use of representations is a crucial aspect of instructional quality in mathematics education, given their pivotal role in facilitating mathematics learning.
Using visual models to solve problems and explore relationships in
This two-part blog series by Marc North explores some thinking and strategies for using representations in Mathematics lessons. Part 1 unpicks some of the key theoretical ideas around the use of representations and models and foregrounds how representations can be used to both solve problems and explore mathematical relationships. Part 2 will illustrate these theoretical ...
PDF Using Visual Representations to Assist Elementary and Middle School
Research shows that the use of visual representations may lead to positive gains in math achievement. Visual representations help students develop a deeper understanding of the problems they are working with, making them more efective problem solvers. Visual representations such as manipulatives, number lines, pictorial representations, and ...
Visual Representations in Mathematics
2018. Visual representations (VRs) are used in mathematics to help students solve problems or understand abstract ideas. Graphing data, placing numbers in a line, or drawing out a word problem are all examples of using VRs. Several NSF-funded projects within the DRK-12 portfolio are using VRs to enhance mathematical understanding.

Using visual representations leads to a better understanding and to improving special mathematical reasoning. The present paper presents an experiment involving university students who have been ...
PDF VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS IN MATHEMATICS PROBLEM-SOLVING: EFFECTS OF ...
ctly addresses the effects of different types of representations on mathematics performance. Theories offer differing pe. spectives about how visual representations such as illustrations influence student learning. Here, we inves. igated the effects of diagrams and contextual illustrations on trigonometry problem solving. Diagrams helped.
The role of visual representations in the learning of mathematics
Visualization, as both the product and the process of creation, interpretation and reflection upon pictures and images, is gaining increased visibility in mathematics and mathematics education. This paper is an attempt to define visualization and to analyze, exemplify and reflect upon the many different and rich roles it can and should play in the learning and the doing of mathematics. At the ...
The Role of Visual Representations in Mathematical Word Problems
Students' Natural Use of Visual Representations in Mathematics. A reasonable starting point for examining the extent to which students create external visual representations is in the context of everyday problem solving. Contexts where students learn mathematics in a traditionally, symbolic intensive manner and where there is little formal ...
Visual Math Improves Math Performance
Mathematics educators have long known that engaging students in visual representations of mathematics is extremely helpful for their learning. When youcubed offered " How Close to 100 " as an activity for learning math facts with visual representations, teachers across the world were thrilled and responded with thousands of tweets showing ...
Visual Representation in Mathematics
Visual representation is an important skill because higher-level math and science courses increasingly draw on visualization and spatial reasoning skills to solve problems (Zhang, Ding, Stegall, & Mo, 2012). Additionally, it is simply another strategy that students can use when they are thinking of the best way to answer a problem in mathematics.
PDF Who Benefits from Diagrams and Illustrations in Math Problems? Ability
Mathematics problems are often contextualized using text, such as in story problems, but they can also be contextual-ized with visual representations (e.g., McNeil et al., 2009). However, there is little data about how visual representations such as context-relevant illustrations affect performance. It

Mathematical Representations Series Part 3: Symbolic Representation
This was our first example of translating between two different representations (connecting visual to concrete). Now, we can support students even further by helping them represent their understanding with symbols. Here the student counts the collection of five counters and writes the numeral "5" below it. They do the same for the four ...
10 Maths Intervention Strategies To Close the Maths Gap
9. Visual representations. Best for: Reinforcing concepts. How it works: Visualising maths can help students who are struggling with maths concepts, especially for students with learning disabilities. Teachers can use visual aids such as: Number lines to help with counting skills, from one-to-one correspondence to working with negative numbers.
