• Students create equivalent ratios using a ratio table and represent these ratios on a double number line diagram.
• Students extend and use a double number line diagram to solve ratio problems related to the real world.
Lesson 12 Summary
Double Number Line Diagram: a tool used for understanding the equivalence of two related numbers. It is called “double” because each mark on the line has two numbers matched to it. The top row of numbers describes the whole represented by the line in one way, and the bottom row describes the whole represented by the line in another way. Because the whole line is the same, it is possible to see the equivalences between the rows of numbers at any point on the line.
