First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 8.5 to 9 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 8.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.7
- Each space is (9 − 8.5) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 8.5 + 4 × 0.05 = 8.7
2.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
3.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 6.7 to 6.8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 6.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.75
- Each space is (6.8 − 6.7) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 6.7 + 5 × 0.01 = 6.75
5.A number line goes from 5 to 7.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.5
- Each space is (7.5 − 5) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 5 + 1 × 0.5 = 5.5
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 6 to 6.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.3
- Each space is (6.4 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 6 + 3 × 0.1 = 6.3
8.A number line goes from 2 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.5
- Each space is (7 − 2) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 2 + 3 × 0.5 = 3.5
9.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 2 to 4.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3
- Each space is (4.5 − 2) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 2 + 2 × 0.5 = 3
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.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
