First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 0.9 to 1.1 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.95
- Each space is (1.1 − 0.9) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 0.9 + 1 × 0.05 = 0.95
2.A number line goes from 9 to 11 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 10.5
- Each space is (11 − 9) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 9 + 3 × 0.5 = 10.5
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 2 to 4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.8
- Each space is (4 − 2) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 2 + 4 × 0.2 = 2.8
5.A number line goes from 3 to 5.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.5
- Each space is (5.5 − 3) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 3 + 3 × 0.5 = 4.5
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 8 to 13 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9
- Each space is (13 − 8) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 8 + 2 × 0.5 = 9
8.A number line goes from 8.2 to 8.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.3
- Each space is (8.4 − 8.2) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 8.2 + 2 × 0.05 = 8.3
9.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 7 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 1.6 to 1.8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.66
- Each space is (1.8 − 1.6) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 1.6 + 3 × 0.02 = 1.66
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.
