First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 200 to 700 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (700 − 200) ÷ 5 = 100
- 200 + 3 × 100 = 500
2.A number line goes from 500 to 750 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 725
- Each space is (750 − 500) ÷ 10 = 25
- 500 + 9 × 25 = 725
3.What number is halfway between 300 and 560?
Answer: 430
- 560 − 300 = 260; half of that is 130
- 300 + 130 = 430
4.A number line goes from 300 to 500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 380
- Each space is (500 − 300) ÷ 10 = 20
- 300 + 4 × 20 = 380
5.A number line goes from 200 to 1,200 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (1,200 − 200) ÷ 10 = 100
- 200 + 3 × 100 = 500
6.What number is halfway between 280 and 320?
Answer: 300
- 320 − 280 = 40; half of that is 20
- 280 + 20 = 300
7.A number line goes from 100 to 300 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 220
- Each space is (300 − 100) ÷ 10 = 20
- 100 + 6 × 20 = 220
8.A number line goes from 300 to 800 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (800 − 300) ÷ 5 = 100
- 300 + 2 × 100 = 500
9.What number is halfway between 40 and 320?
Answer: 180
- 320 − 40 = 280; half of that is 140
- 40 + 140 = 180
10.A number line goes from 400 to 500 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 420
- Each space is (500 − 400) ÷ 5 = 20
- 400 + 1 × 20 = 420
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.
