First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 800 to 1,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 850
- Each space is (1,000 − 800) ÷ 4 = 50
- 800 + 1 × 50 = 850
2.A number line goes from 300 to 500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 460
- Each space is (500 − 300) ÷ 10 = 20
- 300 + 8 × 20 = 460
3.What number is halfway between 180 and 560?
Answer: 370
- 560 − 180 = 380; half of that is 190
- 180 + 190 = 370
4.A number line goes from 300 to 500 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 450
- Each space is (500 − 300) ÷ 4 = 50
- 300 + 3 × 50 = 450
5.A number line goes from 900 to 1,400 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (1,400 − 900) ÷ 5 = 100
- 900 + 1 × 100 = 1,000
6.What number is halfway between 190 and 230?
Answer: 210
- 230 − 190 = 40; half of that is 20
- 190 + 20 = 210
7.A number line goes from 500 to 900 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 700
- Each space is (900 − 500) ÷ 4 = 100
- 500 + 2 × 100 = 700
8.A number line goes from 100 to 1,100 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 300
- Each space is (1,100 − 100) ÷ 10 = 100
- 100 + 2 × 100 = 300
9.What number is halfway between 380 and 800?
Answer: 590
- 800 − 380 = 420; half of that is 210
- 380 + 210 = 590
10.A number line goes from 0 to 1,000 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 600
- Each space is (1,000 − 0) ÷ 10 = 100
- 0 + 6 × 100 = 600
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.
