Abstract	This article examines the work of 30 in-service teachers engaged with modelling activities during a course within an Ecuadorian master's degree program in mathematics teaching. These teachers experienced a sequence of activities designed to explore imaginative aspects of mathematical modelling and problem solving, inviting perspectives from life outside of school. They built rich connections between real-world phenomena and a range of ideas about functions and representations of them. An analysis of the teachers' work identifies a modelling resource--the representational imagination--describing its nature and the implications for models of classroom modelling aiming to support this resource.
