First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 2 to 2.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.6
- Each space is (2.8 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 2 + 3 × 0.2 = 2.6
2.A number line goes from 9.4 to 9.5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.43
- Each space is (9.5 − 9.4) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 9.4 + 3 × 0.01 = 9.43
3.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 8.3 to 8.38 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.36
- Each space is (8.38 − 8.3) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 8.3 + 3 × 0.02 = 8.36
5.A number line goes from 9.7 to 9.9 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.8
- Each space is (9.9 − 9.7) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 9.7 + 2 × 0.05 = 9.8
6.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 4 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 =
7.A number line goes from 7 to 9.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.5
- Each space is (9.5 − 7) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 7 + 1 × 0.5 = 7.5
8.A number line goes from 1 to 1.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.3
- Each space is (1.4 − 1) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 1 + 3 × 0.1 = 1.3
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 3 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 7 to 9.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9
- Each space is (9.5 − 7) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 7 + 4 × 0.5 = 9
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.
