This paper aims to understand how two grade 3 teachers promote students' learning of graph representations. The conceptual framework addresses representations and teachers' actions as students work on a task involving graph comprehension. Data collection includes observation and video recording of two classes. The results show that to promote the understanding of the graph representation teachers supported students in reading the data and in reading between the data, mostly by questioning.
