First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 800 to 850 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 830
- Each space is (850 − 800) ÷ 5 = 10
- 800 + 3 × 10 = 830
2.A number line goes from 10 to 60 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 10. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 50
- Each space is (60 − 10) ÷ 10 = 5
- 10 + 8 × 5 = 50
3.A number line goes from 0 to 100 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 60
- Each space is (100 − 0) ÷ 10 = 10
- 0 + 6 × 10 = 60
4.A number line goes from 300 to 350 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 320
- Each space is (350 − 300) ÷ 5 = 10
- 300 + 2 × 10 = 320
5.A number line goes from 30 to 50 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 30. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 32
- Each space is (50 − 30) ÷ 10 = 2
- 30 + 1 × 2 = 32
6.A number line goes from 200 to 250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 240
- Each space is (250 − 200) ÷ 5 = 10
- 200 + 4 × 10 = 240
7.A number line goes from 100 to 200 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 150
- Each space is (200 − 100) ÷ 10 = 10
- 100 + 5 × 10 = 150
8.A number line goes from 80 to 90 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 80. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 88
- Each space is (90 − 80) ÷ 10 = 1
- 80 + 8 × 1 = 88
9.A number line goes from 20 to 70 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 20. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 30
- Each space is (70 − 20) ÷ 10 = 5
- 20 + 2 × 5 = 30
10.A number line goes from 700 to 800 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 720
- Each space is (800 − 700) ÷ 10 = 10
- 700 + 2 × 10 = 720
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.
