First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 9 to 14 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 12.5
- Each space is (14 − 9) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 9 + 7 × 0.5 = 12.5
2.A number line goes from 4 to 9 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8
- Each space is (9 − 4) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 4 + 8 × 0.5 = 8
3.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 7 to 9 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.5
- Each space is (9 − 7) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 7 + 3 × 0.5 = 8.5
5.A number line goes from 1.2 to 1.3 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.22
- Each space is (1.3 − 1.2) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 1.2 + 1 × 0.02 = 1.22
6.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 7 to 7.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.4
- Each space is (7.5 − 7) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 7 + 4 × 0.1 = 7.4
8.A number line goes from 9.7 to 9.78 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.74
- Each space is (9.78 − 9.7) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 9.7 + 2 × 0.02 = 9.74
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 5 to 10 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.5
- Each space is (10 − 5) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 5 + 3 × 0.5 = 6.5
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:
