First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 6 to 8.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.5
- Each space is (8.5 − 6) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 6 + 3 × 0.5 = 7.5
2.A number line goes from 9 to 9.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.3
- Each space is (9.4 − 9) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 9 + 3 × 0.1 = 9.3
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 5.5 to 5.6 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 5.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.56
- Each space is (5.6 − 5.5) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 5.5 + 3 × 0.02 = 5.56
5.A number line goes from 0.1 to 0.2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 0.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.18
- Each space is (0.2 − 0.1) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 0.1 + 8 × 0.01 = 0.18
6.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 6 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 7 to 7.1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.03
- Each space is (7.1 − 7) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 7 + 3 × 0.01 = 7.03
8.A number line goes from 6 to 11 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.5
- Each space is (11 − 6) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 6 + 5 × 0.5 = 8.5
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 0.9 to 0.94 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.92
- Each space is (0.94 − 0.9) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 0.9 + 2 × 0.01 = 0.92
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:
