First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 0.4 to 0.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.42
- Each space is (0.5 − 0.4) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 0.4 + 1 × 0.02 = 0.42
2.A number line goes from 8 to 9 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.4
- Each space is (9 − 8) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 8 + 2 × 0.2 = 8.4
3.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 6 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 =
4.A number line goes from 7 to 7.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.4
- Each space is (7.8 − 7) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 7 + 2 × 0.2 = 7.4
5.A number line goes from 9.8 to 9.9 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.86
- Each space is (9.9 − 9.8) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 9.8 + 3 × 0.02 = 9.86
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 2 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 7.4 to 7.6 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 7.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.55
- Each space is (7.6 − 7.4) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 7.4 + 3 × 0.05 = 7.55
8.A number line goes from 6 to 6.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.4
- Each space is (6.8 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 6 + 2 × 0.2 = 6.4
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 0.2 to 0.45 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.35
- Each space is (0.45 − 0.2) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 0.2 + 3 × 0.05 = 0.35
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.
