Year 3 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 4 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4 to 4.2 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.1
- Each space is (4.2 − 4) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 4 + 2 × 0.05 = 4.1
2.A number line goes from 6.1 to 6.35 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 6.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.3
- Each space is (6.35 − 6.1) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 6.1 + 4 × 0.05 = 6.3
3.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 8 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 = =
4.A number line goes from 7 to 7.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.2
- Each space is (7.4 − 7) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 7 + 2 × 0.1 = 7.2
5.A number line goes from 2 to 2.1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.08
- Each space is (2.1 − 2) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 2 + 8 × 0.01 = 2.08
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 3 to 5.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4
- Each space is (5.5 − 3) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 3 + 2 × 0.5 = 4
8.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.4
- Each space is (4 − 3) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 3 + 2 × 0.2 = 3.4
9.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 =
10.A number line goes from 9.4 to 9.65 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 9.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.6
- Each space is (9.65 − 9.4) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 9.4 + 4 × 0.05 = 9.6
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:
