First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 3 to 3.2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.12
- Each space is (3.2 − 3) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 3 + 6 × 0.02 = 3.12
2.A number line goes from 3.3 to 3.34 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.32
- Each space is (3.34 − 3.3) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 3.3 + 2 × 0.01 = 3.32
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 7 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 2.8 to 2.84 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.82
- Each space is (2.84 − 2.8) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 2.8 + 2 × 0.01 = 2.82
5.A number line goes from 3.6 to 3.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 3.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.65
- Each space is (3.8 − 3.6) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 3.6 + 1 × 0.05 = 3.65
6.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 6 to 8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.5
- Each space is (8 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 6 + 1 × 0.5 = 6.5
8.A number line goes from 5 to 7.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.5
- Each space is (7.5 − 5) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 5 + 1 × 0.5 = 5.5
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 4 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 =
10.A number line goes from 4.6 to 4.68 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.64
- Each space is (4.68 − 4.6) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 4.6 + 2 × 0.02 = 4.64
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:
