First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 5 to 7.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6
- Each space is (7.5 − 5) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 5 + 2 × 0.5 = 6
2.A number line goes from 1 to 1.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.1
- Each space is (1.5 − 1) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 1 + 1 × 0.1 = 1.1
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 3 spaces = =
4.A number line goes from 8 to 8.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.6
- Each space is (8.8 − 8) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 8 + 3 × 0.2 = 8.6
5.A number line goes from 8.7 to 9.2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 8.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.9
- Each space is (9.2 − 8.7) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 8.7 + 4 × 0.05 = 8.9
6.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 5 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 4.9 to 5.1 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 4.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.05
- Each space is (5.1 − 4.9) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 4.9 + 3 × 0.05 = 5.05
8.A number line goes from 6 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.3
- Each space is (7 − 6) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 6 + 3 × 0.1 = 6.3
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 6.1 to 6.15 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 6.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.14
- Each space is (6.15 − 6.1) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 6.1 + 4 × 0.01 = 6.14
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:
