First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.2
- Each space is (3 − 2) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 2 + 1 × 0.2 = 2.2
2.A number line goes from 9 to 9.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.4
- Each space is (9.5 − 9) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 9 + 4 × 0.1 = 9.4
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 1.5 to 1.7 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.55
- Each space is (1.7 − 1.5) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 1.5 + 1 × 0.05 = 1.55
5.A number line goes from 3.9 to 4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 3.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.98
- Each space is (4 − 3.9) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 3.9 + 8 × 0.01 = 3.98
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 3 to 3.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.6
- Each space is (3.8 − 3) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 3 + 3 × 0.2 = 3.6
8.A number line goes from 3.2 to 3.28 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.26
- Each space is (3.28 − 3.2) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 3.2 + 3 × 0.02 = 3.26
9.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 6 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 0 to 0.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.3
- Each space is (0.4 − 0) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 0 + 3 × 0.1 = 0.3
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:
