First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.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
2.A number line goes from 3 to 3.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.3
- Each space is (3.4 − 3) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 3 + 3 × 0.1 = 3.3
3.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 10 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 5 to 5.05 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.02
- Each space is (5.05 − 5) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 5 + 2 × 0.01 = 5.02
5.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.2
- Each space is (2 − 1) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 1 + 1 × 0.2 = 1.2
6.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 8.2 to 8.3 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.24
- Each space is (8.3 − 8.2) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 8.2 + 2 × 0.02 = 8.24
8.A number line goes from 4 to 6.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5
- Each space is (6.5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 4 + 2 × 0.5 = 5
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 7.8 to 7.84 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.82
- Each space is (7.84 − 7.8) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 7.8 + 2 × 0.01 = 7.82
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:
