Articles:Teaching Students Math Problem-Solving Through Graphic Representations This article explains the Graphic Representational Technique? Effective word problem-solving requires the learner “to create a representation of the problem that mediates solution” (Goldman, 1989, p. 45). A primary characteristic of a graphic representational strategy that distinguishes it from other approaches is the use of schematic diagrams that allow students to organize information in the problem to facilitate problem translation and solution. The external representation (e.g., diagrams) may serve to reduce a learner’s cognitive processing load and make available mental resources for engaging in problem analysis and solution. Asha Jitendra
