First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.2
- Each space is (5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 4 + 1 × 0.2 = 4.2
2.A number line goes from 4.2 to 4.25 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.22
- Each space is (4.25 − 4.2) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 4.2 + 2 × 0.01 = 4.22
3.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 2.4 to 2.6 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.55
- Each space is (2.6 − 2.4) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 2.4 + 3 × 0.05 = 2.55
5.A number line goes from 3.2 to 3.24 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.23
- Each space is (3.24 − 3.2) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 3.2 + 3 × 0.01 = 3.23
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 2 to 2.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.2
- Each space is (2.5 − 2) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 2 + 2 × 0.1 = 2.2
8.A number line goes from 5 to 7.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.5
- Each space is (7.5 − 5) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 5 + 3 × 0.5 = 6.5
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 2.7 to 2.9 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 2.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.82
- Each space is (2.9 − 2.7) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 2.7 + 6 × 0.02 = 2.82
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
