First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4 to 6.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.5
- Each space is (6.5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 4 + 1 × 0.5 = 4.5
2.A number line goes from 4.5 to 4.54 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.52
- Each space is (4.54 − 4.5) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 4.5 + 2 × 0.01 = 4.52
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 0 to 0.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.6
- Each space is (0.8 − 0) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 0 + 3 × 0.2 = 0.6
5.A number line goes from 7.9 to 8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 7.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.93
- Each space is (8 − 7.9) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 7.9 + 3 × 0.01 = 7.93
6.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 9 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 4 to 4.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.3
- Each space is (4.5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 4 + 3 × 0.1 = 4.3
8.A number line goes from 6 to 6.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.1
- Each space is (6.5 − 6) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 6 + 1 × 0.1 = 6.1
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 5.9 to 6.1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 5.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6
- Each space is (6.1 − 5.9) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 5.9 + 5 × 0.02 = 6
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:
