Year 3 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 2 — Practice Set 3 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 500 to 900 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 800
- Each space is (900 − 500) ÷ 4 = 100
- 500 + 3 × 100 = 800
2.A number line goes from 0 to 250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 100
- Each space is (250 − 0) ÷ 5 = 50
- 0 + 2 × 50 = 100
3.What number is halfway between 280 and 760?
Answer: 520
- 760 − 280 = 480; half of that is 240
- 280 + 240 = 520
4.A number line goes from 700 to 1,200 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (1,200 − 700) ÷ 10 = 50
- 700 + 6 × 50 = 1,000
5.A number line goes from 100 to 350 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 150
- Each space is (350 − 100) ÷ 5 = 50
- 100 + 1 × 50 = 150
6.What number is halfway between 390 and 770?
Answer: 580
- 770 − 390 = 380; half of that is 190
- 390 + 190 = 580
7.A number line goes from 6,000 to 7,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6,500
- Each space is (7,000 − 6,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 6,000 + 2 × 250 = 6,500
8.A number line goes from 0 to 1,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (1,000 − 0) ÷ 4 = 250
- 0 + 2 × 250 = 500
9.What number is halfway between 190 and 770?
Answer: 480
- 770 − 190 = 580; half of that is 290
- 190 + 290 = 480
10.A number line goes from 2,000 to 3,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2,250
- Each space is (3,000 − 2,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 2,000 + 1 × 250 = 2,250
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:
