Abstract
This study aims to describe the visual representation of grade 5 students in elementary schools in solving fraction problems. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data is collected through interviews, recording and student work. The research subjects were 3 students namely those who had high, medium and low mathematical abilities based on the results of the last report card. The results showed that there was no relationship between students 'mathematical abilities and students' visual representation. Students with high mathematical abilities can accurately represent the concept of fractions in the form of a picture but cannot represent the concept of fraction multiplication and compare two fraction numbers into the exact image. Students with moderate and low mathematical abilities cannot represent fraction concepts and multiplication concepts and compare two fraction numbers into image shapes correctly. Based on the results of this study it is expected that the teachers will provide a deeper understanding of the use of visual representation in fraction learning.
