Representation is an essential tool for thinking and communication. Many math expressions consist of representations such as numbers, fractions, algebraic expressions, equations, diagrams, graphs and models. The more your students use these representations, the more likely they will be to learn concepts. They will also develop a deeper and more creative understanding of math. As technology advances, new types of representations may further enhance student learning.
