First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 9.8 to 9.84 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.82
- Each space is (9.84 − 9.8) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 9.8 + 2 × 0.01 = 9.82
2.A number line goes from 2 to 2.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.2
- Each space is (2.8 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 2 + 1 × 0.2 = 2.2
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 2 spaces = =
4.A number line goes from 6 to 8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7
- Each space is (8 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 6 + 2 × 0.5 = 7
5.A number line goes from 3.3 to 3.4 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.38
- Each space is (3.4 − 3.3) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 3.3 + 4 × 0.02 = 3.38
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 6 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 = =
7.A number line goes from 0 to 2 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1
- Each space is (2 − 0) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 0 + 2 × 0.5 = 1
8.A number line goes from 0.8 to 0.88 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.82
- Each space is (0.88 − 0.8) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 0.8 + 1 × 0.02 = 0.82
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 4 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 2.3 to 2.55 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.4
- Each space is (2.55 − 2.3) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 2.3 + 2 × 0.05 = 2.4
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:
