First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 7 to 9.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.5
- Each space is (9.5 − 7) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 7 + 3 × 0.5 = 8.5
2.A number line goes from 7 to 7.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.1
- Each space is (7.4 − 7) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 7 + 1 × 0.1 = 7.1
3.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 9 to 11.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 10.5
- Each space is (11.5 − 9) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 9 + 3 × 0.5 = 10.5
5.A number line goes from 1.8 to 2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 1.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.9
- Each space is (2 − 1.8) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 1.8 + 5 × 0.02 = 1.9
6.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 7.5 to 8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 7.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.8
- Each space is (8 − 7.5) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 7.5 + 6 × 0.05 = 7.8
8.A number line goes from 0 to 2 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.5
- Each space is (2 − 0) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 0 + 1 × 0.5 = 0.5
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 3 to 3.2 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.15
- Each space is (3.2 − 3) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 3 + 3 × 0.05 = 3.15
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:
