Abstract
This study aims to determine the translation process of students' visual representations in solving mathematics word problem in number patterns. The subjects in this study are 2 students at eight grade of Junior High School taken based on the intended sample so that this study employs a qualitative approach. The data is taken using the word problem test instrument as a tool to find out the translation process in visual representation and it is supported by an aid instrument in the form of an interview as data triangulation. The results of the translation process of subject 1 and subject 2 have several similarities and differences in the problem-solving process. It can be revealed that the two subjects take each process of translation in visual representation, even though the construct of the translation results is slightly different in the problem-solving process.
