First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 800 to 900 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 820
- Each space is (900 − 800) ÷ 5 = 20
- 800 + 1 × 20 = 820
2.A number line goes from 6,000 to 7,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6,500
- Each space is (7,000 − 6,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 6,000 + 2 × 250 = 6,500
3.What number is halfway between 370 and 770?
Answer: 570
- 770 − 370 = 400; half of that is 200
- 370 + 200 = 570
4.A number line goes from 200 to 400 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 240
- Each space is (400 − 200) ÷ 10 = 20
- 200 + 2 × 20 = 240
5.A number line goes from 400 to 650 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (650 − 400) ÷ 10 = 25
- 400 + 4 × 25 = 500
6.What number is halfway between 370 and 810?
Answer: 590
- 810 − 370 = 440; half of that is 220
- 370 + 220 = 590
7.A number line goes from 600 to 800 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 650
- Each space is (800 − 600) ÷ 4 = 50
- 600 + 1 × 50 = 650
8.A number line goes from 900 to 1,100 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 960
- Each space is (1,100 − 900) ÷ 10 = 20
- 900 + 3 × 20 = 960
9.What number is halfway between 90 and 550?
Answer: 320
- 550 − 90 = 460; half of that is 230
- 90 + 230 = 320
10.A number line goes from 600 to 700 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 680
- Each space is (700 − 600) ÷ 5 = 20
- 600 + 4 × 20 = 680
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.
