First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 9.8 to 10 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 9.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.96
- Each space is (10 − 9.8) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 9.8 + 8 × 0.02 = 9.96
2.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.8
- Each space is (1 − 0) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 0 + 4 × 0.2 = 0.8
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 7 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 9.7 to 9.8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 9.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.71
- Each space is (9.8 − 9.7) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 9.7 + 1 × 0.01 = 9.71
5.A number line goes from 9 to 9.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.3
- Each space is (9.5 − 9) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 9 + 3 × 0.1 = 9.3
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 2.3 to 2.55 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.35
- Each space is (2.55 − 2.3) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 2.3 + 1 × 0.05 = 2.35
8.A number line goes from 2 to 2.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.3
- Each space is (2.5 − 2) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 2 + 3 × 0.1 = 2.3
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 7 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 6 to 6.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.2
- Each space is (6.4 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 6 + 2 × 0.1 = 6.2
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.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
