  1. Mathematical Representations

    Representations are considered to be mathematically conventional, or standard, when they are based on assumptions and conventions shared by the wider mathematical community. Examples of such conventional mathematical representations include base ten numerals, abaci, number lines, Cartesian graphs, and algebraic equations written using standard ...

  2. Representation (mathematics)

    Representation (mathematics) In mathematics, a representation is a very general relationship that expresses similarities (or equivalences) between mathematical objects or structures. Roughly speaking, a collection Y of mathematical objects may be said to represent another collection X of objects, provided that the properties and relationships ...

    Representations should be treated as essential elements in supporting students' understanding of mathematical concepts and relationships; in communicating mathematical approaches, arguments, and understandings to one's self and to others; in recognizing connections among related mathematical concepts; and in applying mathematics to realistic problem situations through modeling.

  5. PDF Representation

    The term representation refers both to process and to product—in other words, to the act of capturing a mathematical concept or relationship in some form and to the form itself. The child who wrote her age as shown in figure 3.8 used a representation. The graph of f(x) = x3. is a representation.

  6. Mathematical Representations

    Definitions. As most commonly interpreted in education, mathematical representations are visible or tangible productions - such as diagrams, number lines, graphs, arrangements of concrete objects or manipulatives, physical models, written words, mathematical expressions, formulas and equations, or depictions on the screen of a computer or ...

  7. PDF Introduction to representation theory

    mathematical subject which has many applications, ranging from number theory and combinatorics to geometry, probability theory, quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Representation theory was born in 1896 in the work of the German mathematician F. G. Frobenius. This work was triggered by a letter to Frobenius by R. Dedekind.

  8. Using representations to develop maths mastery

    In mathematical terms, we use the word representations as one way of labelling the many methods and strategies we may encounter. This definition of representations may be useful in understanding this further: "The act of capturing a mathematical concept or relationship in some form and to the form itself.".

  11. Mathematical Representations in Physics Lessons

    The Encyclopedia of Science Education defines representations as "notions or signs or symbols that stand for something in the absence of that thing, a thing which typically is a phenomenon or an object in the external world but can be just in our imagination" (Dolin 2016, p. 836 f.).This definition needs specification for our purpose of describing mathematical representations in physics ...

    Mathematical representation is defined as visible or tangible productions that encode, stand for, or embody mathematical ideas or relationships (Goldin, 2014). The term representation is also used ...

  13. Representation theory

    Representation theory studies how algebraic structures "act" on objects. A simple example is how the symmetries of regular polygons, consisting of reflections and rotations, transform the polygon.. Representation theory is a branch of mathematics that studies abstract algebraic structures by representing their elements as linear transformations of vector spaces, and studies modules over these ...

  15. Mathematical Representations

    Mathematical representations have potential power to subtly introduce ideas to students as well. The number line is a good example of a representation that is often introduced early and may lead to some powerful questions by students. What do those arrows on either side mean?

  16. Mathematical Representations

    Definition. Mathematical representations in physics refer to the use of equations and formulas to describe physical phenomena. These representations allow us to quantitatively analyze and predict the behavior of objects and systems. Analogy. Think of mathematical representations as a recipe for baking a cake. Just like following a recipe step ...

  19. 1.3: Introduction to Functions

    Functions. One of the core concepts in Precalculus is the function. There are many ways to describe a function and we begin by defining a function as a special kind of relation. Definition: Function. A relation in which each x x -coordinate is matched with only one y y -coordinate is said to describe y y as a function of x x.

  20. Multiple representations and mathematical creativity

    1. Introduction. Solving mathematical problems through applying different representations, definitions, theorems, and properties has been strongly encouraged for students to discern connections among several mathematical concepts and create new mathematical knowledge (Ervynck, 1991; Levav-Waynberg & Leikin, 2012; Silver, 1997).Creating new mathematical knowledge in K-12 mathematics classrooms ...
