I study biostatistics and dabble in population genetics research. I still resort to number lines and venn diagrams frequently. There is a reason we teach number lines - they are very useful!
- methusala8 4y agoWhere exactly do you use number line? Thanks.
- aksss 4y agoI don’t recall ever learning number lines in school. Was in eighties. Are number lines a new teaching tool or am I just not remembering this?
- achileas 4y agoYou might be forgetting them, it's literally just a line with numbers marked on it. I learned them in primary school in the 90s, further classes never used them but they've always been useful tools for visualizing relationships between numbers.
- ImaCake 4y agoUsually just when I am having trouble with an idosyncratic number scale. So usually when I need to make sense of dates and the time between them. It's often got nothing to do with work, but I do use them in my personal life.
