First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 8.1 to 8.3 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.2
- Each space is (8.3 − 8.1) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 8.1 + 2 × 0.05 = 8.2
2.A number line goes from 6 to 6.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.6
- Each space is (6.8 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 6 + 3 × 0.2 = 6.6
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 5 to 6 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.8
- Each space is (6 − 5) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 5 + 8 × 0.1 = 5.8
5.A number line goes from 0 to 0.08 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.02
- Each space is (0.08 − 0) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 0 + 1 × 0.02 = 0.02
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 9 to 11.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 10
- Each space is (11.5 − 9) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 9 + 2 × 0.5 = 10
8.A number line goes from 9.2 to 9.7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.3
- Each space is (9.7 − 9.2) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 9.2 + 2 × 0.05 = 9.3
9.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 7 to 9.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.5
- Each space is (9.5 − 7) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 7 + 3 × 0.5 = 8.5
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.
