First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4,000 to 6,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4,500
- Each space is (6,500 − 4,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 4,000 + 2 × 250 = 4,500
2.A number line goes from 500 to 600 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 540
- Each space is (600 − 500) ÷ 5 = 20
- 500 + 2 × 20 = 540
3.What number is halfway between 400 and 440?
Answer: 420
- 440 − 400 = 40; half of that is 20
- 400 + 20 = 420
4.A number line goes from 9,000 to 10,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 9,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 10,000
- Each space is (10,250 − 9,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 9,000 + 4 × 250 = 10,000
5.A number line goes from 400 to 900 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 800
- Each space is (900 − 400) ÷ 5 = 100
- 400 + 4 × 100 = 800
6.What number is halfway between 140 and 400?
Answer: 270
- 400 − 140 = 260; half of that is 130
- 140 + 130 = 270
7.A number line goes from 500 to 900 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 600
- Each space is (900 − 500) ÷ 4 = 100
- 500 + 1 × 100 = 600
8.A number line goes from 5,000 to 6,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5,500
- Each space is (6,250 − 5,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 5,000 + 2 × 250 = 5,500
9.What number is halfway between 150 and 190?
Answer: 170
- 190 − 150 = 40; half of that is 20
- 150 + 20 = 170
10.A number line goes from 300 to 425 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 400
- Each space is (425 − 300) ÷ 5 = 25
- 300 + 4 × 25 = 400
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.
