Where Is 1/3? Constructing Rational Numbers on the Number Line by Using Parallel Lines
Karabey, Burak
Australian Mathematics Education Journal, v1 n4 p27-33 2019
This study aims to introduce a method that is based on the relationship between numbers and geometry, which can be used to show the exact location of rational numbers on the number line, compare rational numbers, make calculations, and examine rational numbers conceptually through parallel lines. It is believed that this method will to contribute to the studies of both mathematics teachers and students, especially when it comes to teaching and learning numbers and geometry together, and utilizing subfields of mathematics in relation with one another.
