Abstract: In mathematics education the learner’s own transfer of representations within the same as well as between different levels of representations in the learning process is an essential indicator to develop understanding. Digital media have expanded the possibilities of representing, learning with representations, and transfer processes of representations. This opens up a new spectrum of representation (transfer) processes in which representations, levels of representations, and the transfer processes between representations must be identified, analyzed, researched, and evaluated from a perspective of mathematics education. In this paper we present a conceptual model for representation (transfer) processes. As an example how to work ...
