First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 100 to 225 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 125
- Each space is (225 − 100) ÷ 5 = 25
- 100 + 1 × 25 = 125
2.A number line goes from 800 to 1,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 950
- Each space is (1,000 − 800) ÷ 4 = 50
- 800 + 3 × 50 = 950
3.What number is halfway between 70 and 650?
Answer: 360
- 650 − 70 = 580; half of that is 290
- 70 + 290 = 360
4.A number line goes from 500 to 600 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 550
- Each space is (600 − 500) ÷ 4 = 25
- 500 + 2 × 25 = 550
5.A number line goes from 0 to 80 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 60
- Each space is (80 − 0) ÷ 4 = 20
- 0 + 3 × 20 = 60
6.What number is halfway between 40 and 560?
Answer: 300
- 560 − 40 = 520; half of that is 260
- 40 + 260 = 300
7.A number line goes from 0 to 2,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (2,500 − 0) ÷ 10 = 250
- 0 + 3 × 250 = 750
8.A number line goes from 4,000 to 5,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4,500
- Each space is (5,000 − 4,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 4,000 + 2 × 250 = 4,500
9.What number is halfway between 160 and 620?
Answer: 390
- 620 − 160 = 460; half of that is 230
- 160 + 230 = 390
10.A number line goes from 500 to 580 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 540
- Each space is (580 − 500) ÷ 4 = 20
- 500 + 2 × 20 = 540
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.
