Exploring processes in constructing mathematical concepts and reasoning through linking representations: Editorial

Hodnik, Tatjana (author)

The idea of representation is continuous with mathematics itself. Any mathematical concept must be represented in some way if it is to be present in the learner’s mind. We distinguish between external representation (envi - ronment) and internal representation (mind). External representation refers to all external media that have as their objective the representation of a certain mathematical idea. We mainly use the term external representation for tangible material, graphical representation and mathematical symbols. External repre - sentation always needs an interpreter, a learner who gives it meaning.
