First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 3 to 3.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.2
- Each space is (3.8 − 3) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 3 + 1 × 0.2 = 3.2
2.A number line goes from 3.3 to 3.8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 3.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.65
- Each space is (3.8 − 3.3) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 3.3 + 7 × 0.05 = 3.65
3.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 6 spaces = =
4.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
5.A number line goes from 2 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5
- Each space is (7 − 2) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 2 + 6 × 0.5 = 5
6.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 0.9 to 0.98 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.94
- Each space is (0.98 − 0.9) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 0.9 + 2 × 0.02 = 0.94
8.A number line goes from 5 to 5.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.4
- Each space is (5.8 − 5) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 5 + 2 × 0.2 = 5.4
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 3 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 =
10.A number line goes from 1 to 1.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.3
- Each space is (1.5 − 1) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 1 + 3 × 0.1 = 1.3
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:
