Teachers' perception or belief is seen as an important factor that influences teachers' teaching practices and students' learning. In this regard, this study aims to explore teachers' perceptions on the use of Proofs without Words (PWWs) for visualizing mathematics concepts. This research involves mathematics teachers with a diverse teaching experience. This study employed a qualitative approach with interview as data collecting technique. A total of 12 teachers were interviewed in a semi structured way. The questions that asked to them during interview were focused on how their perception saw about PWWs. The result of the interviews revealed that the PWWs can be used as a source of problems for students for problem-solving activities. However, it also found that students' mathematical knowledge and skills play an important role in process of interpreting the images. © 2018 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
