Abstract

The use of multiple representations in mathematics learning plays a vital role to help students build conceptual understanding and solve mathematical problems. Therefore, teacher's insight and view about the use of multiple representations in teaching mathematics requires more attention. The present study is aimed to investigate how representations used by mathematics teachers in solving the word problems in their teaching. The subjects for this study are junior high school teachers of mathematics. The data analysis indicated that teachers tend to use one form of representations to solve the word problem rather than use all forms in their mathematics instruction. Implications of the study finding on teachers and their practices are to be discussed.
