Abstract	Mathematics is rich in visual representations. Such visual representations are the means by which mathematical patterns "are recorded and analyzed." With respect to "vocabulary" and "symbols," numerous educators have focused on issues inherent in the language of mathematics that influence students' success with mathematics communication. Similarly, with respect to "visual representations," the authors believe that comparable attention is needed to help students perceive, interpret, and make sense of these displays. Further, teachers should consider what support students might need to understand and draw meaning from representations. This article aims to make inroads toward these goals.
