Year 3 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 2 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 0 to 100 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 25
- Each space is (100 − 0) ÷ 4 = 25
- 0 + 1 × 25 = 25
2.A number line goes from 700 to 1,200 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,050
- Each space is (1,200 − 700) ÷ 10 = 50
- 700 + 7 × 50 = 1,050
3.What number is halfway between 220 and 400?
Answer: 310
- 400 − 220 = 180; half of that is 90
- 220 + 90 = 310
4.A number line goes from 600 to 850 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (850 − 600) ÷ 5 = 50
- 600 + 3 × 50 = 750
5.A number line goes from 700 to 1,200 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,150
- Each space is (1,200 − 700) ÷ 10 = 50
- 700 + 9 × 50 = 1,150
6.What number is halfway between 70 and 150?
Answer: 110
- 150 − 70 = 80; half of that is 40
- 70 + 40 = 110
7.A number line goes from 700 to 825 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 725
- Each space is (825 − 700) ÷ 5 = 25
- 700 + 1 × 25 = 725
8.A number line goes from 9,000 to 10,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9,500
- Each space is (10,250 − 9,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 9,000 + 2 × 250 = 9,500
9.What number is halfway between 270 and 870?
Answer: 570
- 870 − 270 = 600; half of that is 300
- 270 + 300 = 570
10.A number line goes from 900 to 1,025 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (1,025 − 900) ÷ 5 = 25
- 900 + 4 × 25 = 1,000
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:
