Visual imagery has been used in mathematics since the origins of the field of study. Van
Garderen & Montague, leading researchers in the field of visual representations in problem
solving, define visual representation as, "the construction and formation of internal images and/
or external images." (van Garderen & Montague, 2003, p. 247). Inquiry into the effectiveness
of visual images in mathematics education has continued for at least the past century (Bishop,
1989). In fact, visual representation in mathematics is widely regarded as essential to the
problem-solving process. Through their research in understanding mathematical representation
in children, Edens and Potter (2008) concur, writing, "The visual dimensions of mathematical
learning and the value of visual-spatial thinking increasingly have been acknowledged as
essential to mathematics education" (Edens & Potter, 2008, p. 3).
