Flexible Thinking with Double Number Lines
Nabb, Keith
PRIMUS, v33 n1 p42-50 2023
Preservice teachers commonly struggle with topics related to fractions, ratio, and proportion. The use of double number lines can facilitate the teaching in these areas and provide autonomy and flexibility in mathematical thinking. Moreover, double number lines support many topics in the curriculum, including unit rate, convenience scaling, and least common multiple.
