These different modes offer different mathematical meaning potentials. Based on Halliday’s SFL, Morgan (1996) has developed a linguistic framework to describe the verbal components of mathematical texts. O’Halloran (2005) also developed a framework to describe the mathematical visual graphs and symbolism. Still, there is a need to develop tools to describe other modes such as geometrical diagrams and gestures. This paper shows only one aspect (ideational/representational) of a suggested framework to read geometrical diagram/shapes which is developed based on school-students' work and textbooks.
