Year 4 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 2 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 3 to 8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.5
- Each space is (8 − 3) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 3 + 9 × 0.5 = 7.5
2.A number line goes from 7.4 to 7.45 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 7.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.41
- Each space is (7.45 − 7.4) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 7.4 + 1 × 0.01 = 7.41
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
4.A number line goes from 1.3 to 1.5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.36
- Each space is (1.5 − 1.3) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 1.3 + 3 × 0.02 = 1.36
5.A number line goes from 6 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.1
- Each space is (7 − 6) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 6 + 1 × 0.1 = 6.1
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 2 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 5 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.2
- Each space is (7 − 5) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 5 + 6 × 0.2 = 6.2
8.A number line goes from 9.3 to 9.5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 9.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.44
- Each space is (9.5 − 9.3) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 9.3 + 7 × 0.02 = 9.44
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 0 to 2.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2
- Each space is (2.5 − 0) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 0 + 4 × 0.5 = 2
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.
