Abstract
Teaching is a mission in which we strive to demonstrate new concepts in many ways, so that pupils and students acquire new information and are enable to construct entirely new concepts. This is only possible with the prudent use of multiple representation. Most teachers do not teach only verbally; they also use a lot of models, pictures, diagrams and analogies. However, in using multiple representation, we have to be careful not to add, change or omit information that influences the understanding of the new concept.

Summary
Teaching is a mission in which we strive to demonstrate new concepts in many ways, so that pupils and students acquire new information and are enable to construct entirely new concepts. The book Multiple Representation in Physics Education deals with multiple representation and the doubts that we may have about its correct use. The authors conclude that teachers need more support to achieve an adequate level of multiple representation; the researchers will attempt to develop specific activities in this regard.
