First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 20 to 40 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 20. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 26
- Each space is (40 − 20) ÷ 10 = 2
- 20 + 3 × 2 = 26
2.A number line goes from 80 to 100 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 80. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 98
- Each space is (100 − 80) ÷ 10 = 2
- 80 + 9 × 2 = 98
3.A number line goes from 40 to 45 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 40. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 42
- Each space is (45 − 40) ÷ 5 = 1
- 40 + 2 × 1 = 42
4.A number line goes from 10 to 20 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 10. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 11
- Each space is (20 − 10) ÷ 10 = 1
- 10 + 1 × 1 = 11
5.A number line goes from 10 to 20 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 10. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 12
- Each space is (20 − 10) ÷ 5 = 2
- 10 + 1 × 2 = 12
6.A number line goes from 0 to 100 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 10
- Each space is (100 − 0) ÷ 10 = 10
- 0 + 1 × 10 = 10
7.A number line goes from 900 to 950 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 930
- Each space is (950 − 900) ÷ 5 = 10
- 900 + 3 × 10 = 930
8.A number line goes from 80 to 85 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 80. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 81
- Each space is (85 − 80) ÷ 5 = 1
- 80 + 1 × 1 = 81
9.A number line goes from 0 to 20 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4
- Each space is (20 − 0) ÷ 10 = 2
- 0 + 2 × 2 = 4
10.A number line goes from 80 to 90 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 80. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 84
- Each space is (90 − 80) ÷ 5 = 2
- 80 + 2 × 2 = 84
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.
