First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 200 to 450 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 350
- Each space is (450 − 200) ÷ 5 = 50
- 200 + 3 × 50 = 350
2.A number line goes from 300 to 380 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 320
- Each space is (380 − 300) ÷ 4 = 20
- 300 + 1 × 20 = 320
3.What number is halfway between 110 and 290?
Answer: 200
- 290 − 110 = 180; half of that is 90
- 110 + 90 = 200
4.A number line goes from 8,000 to 10,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 8,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 10,000
- Each space is (10,500 − 8,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 8,000 + 8 × 250 = 10,000
5.A number line goes from 300 to 400 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 360
- Each space is (400 − 300) ÷ 5 = 20
- 300 + 3 × 20 = 360
6.What number is halfway between 90 and 310?
Answer: 200
- 310 − 90 = 220; half of that is 110
- 90 + 110 = 200
7.A number line goes from 900 to 1,150 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 950
- Each space is (1,150 − 900) ÷ 10 = 25
- 900 + 2 × 25 = 950
8.A number line goes from 800 to 1,050 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 850
- Each space is (1,050 − 800) ÷ 10 = 25
- 800 + 2 × 25 = 850
9.What number is halfway between 270 and 330?
Answer: 300
- 330 − 270 = 60; half of that is 30
- 270 + 30 = 300
10.A number line goes from 0 to 250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 200
- Each space is (250 − 0) ÷ 5 = 50
- 0 + 4 × 50 = 200
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.
