Scheuermann, Amy; van Garderen, Delinda
Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, v13 n8 p471-477 Apr 2008
Students are often told to use representations to solve mathematics problems, yet it may be a hindrance for many. This article contains an approach, the Graphic Representational Analysis Process, that teachers can use to analyze representations and focus future instruction. (Contains 7 figures.)
