Exploring Direct Proportion Using Stacked Number Lines (A) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 5th Grade, 8th Grade
CCSS: 5.OA.B.3
CCSS Description: Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 0, and given the rule “Add 6” and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

Exploring Direct Proportion Using Stacked Number Lines (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Introduce students to using double (or stacked) number lines to answer direct proportion questions with ease with this worksheet.

Learners will begin by considering what multiplicative relationships they can see in two stacked number lines in section A. Here students are required to fill in missing information including missing numbers on the number lines.

Next, in section B, students will match 3 scenarios to the correct number line and add labels.

Then in section C, learners will complete three stacked number lines for three different scenarios and use their number lines to answer direct proportion questions such as a recipe problem and scales used on maps.

Exploring Direct Proportion Using Stacked Number Lines B is a great follow on that will see pupils constructing their own number lines to solve problems.
