Year 3 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 2 — Practice Set 2 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 100 to 600 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 300
- Each space is (600 − 100) ÷ 5 = 100
- 100 + 2 × 100 = 300
2.A number line goes from 5,000 to 7,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 5,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6,250
- Each space is (7,500 − 5,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 5,000 + 5 × 250 = 6,250
3.What number is halfway between 150 and 470?
Answer: 310
- 470 − 150 = 320; half of that is 160
- 150 + 160 = 310
4.A number line goes from 5,000 to 7,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 5,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7,000
- Each space is (7,500 − 5,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 5,000 + 8 × 250 = 7,000
5.A number line goes from 200 to 450 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 225
- Each space is (450 − 200) ÷ 10 = 25
- 200 + 1 × 25 = 225
6.What number is halfway between 40 and 240?
Answer: 140
- 240 − 40 = 200; half of that is 100
- 40 + 100 = 140
7.A number line goes from 100 to 200 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 160
- Each space is (200 − 100) ÷ 5 = 20
- 100 + 3 × 20 = 160
8.A number line goes from 6,000 to 8,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 6,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8,250
- Each space is (8,500 − 6,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 6,000 + 9 × 250 = 8,250
9.What number is halfway between 90 and 130?
Answer: 110
- 130 − 90 = 40; half of that is 20
- 90 + 20 = 110
10.A number line goes from 500 to 600 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 575
- Each space is (600 − 500) ÷ 4 = 25
- 500 + 3 × 25 = 575
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:
