Year 2 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 2 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 400 to 650 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 525
- Each space is (650 − 400) ÷ 10 = 25
- 400 + 5 × 25 = 525
2.A number line goes from 6,000 to 7,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6,750
- Each space is (7,000 − 6,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 6,000 + 3 × 250 = 6,750
3.What number is halfway between 390 and 890?
Answer: 640
- 890 − 390 = 500; half of that is 250
- 390 + 250 = 640
4.A number line goes from 800 to 880 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 860
- Each space is (880 − 800) ÷ 4 = 20
- 800 + 3 × 20 = 860
5.A number line goes from 400 to 650 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (650 − 400) ÷ 10 = 25
- 400 + 4 × 25 = 500
6.What number is halfway between 190 and 290?
Answer: 240
- 290 − 190 = 100; half of that is 50
- 190 + 50 = 240
7.A number line goes from 500 to 1,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 700
- Each space is (1,500 − 500) ÷ 10 = 100
- 500 + 2 × 100 = 700
8.A number line goes from 900 to 1,400 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,200
- Each space is (1,400 − 900) ÷ 10 = 50
- 900 + 6 × 50 = 1,200
9.What number is halfway between 110 and 470?
Answer: 290
- 470 − 110 = 360; half of that is 180
- 110 + 180 = 290
10.A number line goes from 800 to 1,800 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,500
- Each space is (1,800 − 800) ÷ 10 = 100
- 800 + 7 × 100 = 1,500
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:
