First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 8,000 to 9,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8,500
- Each space is (9,250 − 8,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 8,000 + 2 × 250 = 8,500
2.A number line goes from 1,000 to 3,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 1,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2,000
- Each space is (3,500 − 1,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 1,000 + 4 × 250 = 2,000
3.What number is halfway between 100 and 320?
Answer: 210
- 320 − 100 = 220; half of that is 110
- 100 + 110 = 210
4.A number line goes from 800 to 1,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 850
- Each space is (1,000 − 800) ÷ 4 = 50
- 800 + 1 × 50 = 850
5.A number line goes from 100 to 600 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 400
- Each space is (600 − 100) ÷ 5 = 100
- 100 + 3 × 100 = 400
6.What number is halfway between 90 and 350?
Answer: 220
- 350 − 90 = 260; half of that is 130
- 90 + 130 = 220
7.A number line goes from 4,000 to 6,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6,000
- Each space is (6,500 − 4,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 4,000 + 8 × 250 = 6,000
8.A number line goes from 200 to 1,200 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 300
- Each space is (1,200 − 200) ÷ 10 = 100
- 200 + 1 × 100 = 300
9.What number is halfway between 120 and 680?
Answer: 400
- 680 − 120 = 560; half of that is 280
- 120 + 280 = 400
10.A number line goes from 700 to 900 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 800
- Each space is (900 − 700) ÷ 10 = 20
- 700 + 5 × 20 = 800
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.
