First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 900 to 1,900 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (1,900 − 900) ÷ 10 = 100
- 900 + 1 × 100 = 1,000
2.A number line goes from 800 to 900 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 825
- Each space is (900 − 800) ÷ 4 = 25
- 800 + 1 × 25 = 825
3.What number is halfway between 350 and 730?
Answer: 540
- 730 − 350 = 380; half of that is 190
- 350 + 190 = 540
4.A number line goes from 400 to 600 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 550
- Each space is (600 − 400) ÷ 4 = 50
- 400 + 3 × 50 = 550
5.A number line goes from 4,000 to 6,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4,250
- Each space is (6,500 − 4,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 4,000 + 1 × 250 = 4,250
6.What number is halfway between 220 and 740?
Answer: 480
- 740 − 220 = 520; half of that is 260
- 220 + 260 = 480
7.A number line goes from 200 to 325 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 250
- Each space is (325 − 200) ÷ 5 = 25
- 200 + 2 × 25 = 250
8.A number line goes from 700 to 1,200 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (1,200 − 700) ÷ 10 = 50
- 700 + 1 × 50 = 750
9.What number is halfway between 230 and 650?
Answer: 440
- 650 − 230 = 420; half of that is 210
- 230 + 210 = 440
10.A number line goes from 800 to 1,200 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 900
- Each space is (1,200 − 800) ÷ 4 = 100
- 800 + 1 × 100 = 900
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.
