First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4.8 to 4.9 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.82
- Each space is (4.9 − 4.8) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 4.8 + 1 × 0.02 = 4.82
2.A number line goes from 7.6 to 7.64 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.62
- Each space is (7.64 − 7.6) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 7.6 + 2 × 0.01 = 7.62
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
4.A number line goes from 2 to 2.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.1
- Each space is (2.5 − 2) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 2 + 1 × 0.1 = 2.1
5.A number line goes from 2 to 4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.4
- Each space is (4 − 2) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 2 + 7 × 0.2 = 3.4
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 2 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 4.1 to 4.2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.12
- Each space is (4.2 − 4.1) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 4.1 + 2 × 0.01 = 4.12
8.A number line goes from 4 to 4.5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.25
- Each space is (4.5 − 4) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 4 + 5 × 0.05 = 4.25
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 7 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 6.4 to 6.6 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 6.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.48
- Each space is (6.6 − 6.4) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 6.4 + 4 × 0.02 = 6.48
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:
