Representing a multiplicative relationship
I can use a double number line to represent a multiplicative relationship and connect to other known representations.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- A bar model is a representation of a multiplicative relationship.
- A double number line is a representation of a multiplicative relationship.
- A straight line graph is a representation of a multiplicative relationship.
Common misconception
Both lines of a double number line must start at zero and these zeros must be aligned.
When drawing double number lines, ensure to align the zeros and the known equivalents. Showing how a graph is formed from a DNL can help.
