Résumé
Mathematics learning is more effective if students explore ideas in different ways by making connections between different representations. This paper aims to share an exploratory study with 34 prospective elementary school teachers that seeks to understand what kind of representations they have about some fractions. In the beginning, symbolic representations were strongly used, mainly equivalent fractions. Although this mode of representation remained, some diversity of combinations of symbolic, visual, and verbal representations emerged throughout the study, highlighting students’ interconnected knowledge of fractions and their capacity to represent fractions in different ways.
