The+Process+of+Representation

[|Video:] See the Mathematical Process Standards Handbook on the Teacher Resource Page

Representing The Ontario Curriculum, Mathematics, 2005 Students will create a variety of representations of mathematical ideas (e.g., numeric, geometric, algebraic, graphical, pictorial; onscreen dynamic representations), connect and compare representations, and select and apply the appropriate representations to solve problems. Students represent mathematical ideas and relationships and model situations using concrete materials, pictures, diagrams, graphs, tables, numbers, words, and symbols. Learning various forms of representation helps students to make connections and develop flexibility in their thinking about mathematics.
