First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 200 to 280 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 220
- Each space is (280 − 200) ÷ 4 = 20
- 200 + 1 × 20 = 220
2.A number line goes from 600 to 1,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 800
- Each space is (1,000 − 600) ÷ 4 = 100
- 600 + 2 × 100 = 800
3.What number is halfway between 200 and 420?
Answer: 310
- 420 − 200 = 220; half of that is 110
- 200 + 110 = 310
4.A number line goes from 600 to 725 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 675
- Each space is (725 − 600) ÷ 5 = 25
- 600 + 3 × 25 = 675
5.A number line goes from 900 to 1,100 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 950
- Each space is (1,100 − 900) ÷ 4 = 50
- 900 + 1 × 50 = 950
6.What number is halfway between 160 and 500?
Answer: 330
- 500 − 160 = 340; half of that is 170
- 160 + 170 = 330
7.A number line goes from 1,000 to 2,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,250
- Each space is (2,250 − 1,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 1,000 + 1 × 250 = 1,250
8.A number line goes from 6,000 to 8,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 6,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7,750
- Each space is (8,500 − 6,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 6,000 + 7 × 250 = 7,750
9.What number is halfway between 280 and 840?
Answer: 560
- 840 − 280 = 560; half of that is 280
- 280 + 280 = 560
10.A number line goes from 100 to 600 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 150
- Each space is (600 − 100) ÷ 10 = 50
- 100 + 1 × 50 = 150
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.
