First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 40 to 45 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 40. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 41
- Each space is (45 − 40) ÷ 5 = 1
- 40 + 1 × 1 = 41
2.A number line goes from 20 to 70 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 20. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 45
- Each space is (70 − 20) ÷ 10 = 5
- 20 + 5 × 5 = 45
3.A number line goes from 60 to 110 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 60. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 85
- Each space is (110 − 60) ÷ 10 = 5
- 60 + 5 × 5 = 85
4.A number line goes from 30 to 50 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 30. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 34
- Each space is (50 − 30) ÷ 10 = 2
- 30 + 2 × 2 = 34
5.A number line goes from 60 to 65 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 60. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 62
- Each space is (65 − 60) ÷ 5 = 1
- 60 + 2 × 1 = 62
6.A number line goes from 40 to 50 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 40. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 44
- Each space is (50 − 40) ÷ 5 = 2
- 40 + 2 × 2 = 44
7.A number line goes from 0 to 50 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 25
- Each space is (50 − 0) ÷ 10 = 5
- 0 + 5 × 5 = 25
8.A number line goes from 0 to 5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2
- Each space is (5 − 0) ÷ 5 = 1
- 0 + 2 × 1 = 2
9.A number line goes from 60 to 85 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 60. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 65
- Each space is (85 − 60) ÷ 5 = 5
- 60 + 1 × 5 = 65
10.A number line goes from 200 to 300 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 270
- Each space is (300 − 200) ÷ 10 = 10
- 200 + 7 × 10 = 270
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.
