First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 3.5 to 3.58 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 3.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.52
- Each space is (3.58 − 3.5) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 3.5 + 1 × 0.02 = 3.52
2.A number line goes from 9.1 to 9.2 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 9.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.12
- Each space is (9.2 − 9.1) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 9.1 + 1 × 0.02 = 9.12
3.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 =
4.A number line goes from 9.2 to 9.4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 9.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.3
- Each space is (9.4 − 9.2) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 9.2 + 5 × 0.02 = 9.3
5.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.6
- Each space is (3 − 2) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 2 + 6 × 0.1 = 2.6
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 2 to 2.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.2
- Each space is (2.4 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 2 + 2 × 0.1 = 2.2
8.A number line goes from 7.3 to 7.35 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 7.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.31
- Each space is (7.35 − 7.3) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 7.3 + 1 × 0.01 = 7.31
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 0 to 0.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.2
- Each space is (0.8 − 0) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 0 + 1 × 0.2 = 0.2
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:
