First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4,000 to 6,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4,500
- Each space is (6,500 − 4,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 4,000 + 2 × 250 = 4,500
2.A number line goes from 400 to 525 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (525 − 400) ÷ 5 = 25
- 400 + 4 × 25 = 500
3.What number is halfway between 300 and 660?
Answer: 480
- 660 − 300 = 360; half of that is 180
- 300 + 180 = 480
4.A number line goes from 500 to 1,000 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 900
- Each space is (1,000 − 500) ÷ 5 = 100
- 500 + 4 × 100 = 900
5.A number line goes from 400 to 650 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 475
- Each space is (650 − 400) ÷ 10 = 25
- 400 + 3 × 25 = 475
6.What number is halfway between 160 and 380?
Answer: 270
- 380 − 160 = 220; half of that is 110
- 160 + 110 = 270
7.A number line goes from 1,000 to 2,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 1,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,500
- Each space is (2,000 − 1,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 1,000 + 2 × 250 = 1,500
8.A number line goes from 200 to 600 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (600 − 200) ÷ 4 = 100
- 200 + 3 × 100 = 500
9.What number is halfway between 230 and 690?
Answer: 460
- 690 − 230 = 460; half of that is 230
- 230 + 230 = 460
10.A number line goes from 700 to 900 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 800
- Each space is (900 − 700) ÷ 4 = 50
- 700 + 2 × 50 = 800
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.
