Year 3 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 3 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 7 to 7.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.1
- Each space is (7.4 − 7) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 7 + 1 × 0.1 = 7.1
2.A number line goes from 3.4 to 3.6 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 3.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.45
- Each space is (3.6 − 3.4) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 3.4 + 1 × 0.05 = 3.45
3.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
4.A number line goes from 8.1 to 8.2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 8.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.15
- Each space is (8.2 − 8.1) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 8.1 + 5 × 0.01 = 8.15
5.A number line goes from 8 to 8.08 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.04
- Each space is (8.08 − 8) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 8 + 2 × 0.02 = 8.04
6.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 7.7 to 7.95 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 7.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.75
- Each space is (7.95 − 7.7) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 7.7 + 1 × 0.05 = 7.75
8.A number line goes from 8.8 to 8.88 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.84
- Each space is (8.88 − 8.8) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 8.8 + 2 × 0.02 = 8.84
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 9 to 14 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 12
- Each space is (14 − 9) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 9 + 6 × 0.5 = 12
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.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
