Résumé

This paper examines how young pupils (age 8–9) use drawings as a tool in exploring multiplicative situations. Analysis shows that drawings play an important role in their problem-solving process. Drawings are mainly used as information holders and as a tool to organise calculations for problems with a relatively easy structure; in problems with a more complex structure, drawings are more frequently used as a tool for reasoning. The results show no connection between the degree of abstraction in the drawing and the sophistication of the calculation strategy.
