The use of alternative double number lines as models of ratio tasks and as models for ratio relations and scaling (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Küchemann, D., Hodgen, J., & Brown, M. (2014). The use of alternative double number lines as models of ratio tasks and as models for ratio relations and scaling.
