First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 6 to 6.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.1
- Each space is (6.4 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 6 + 1 × 0.1 = 6.1
2.A number line goes from 1 to 3.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3
- Each space is (3.5 − 1) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 1 + 4 × 0.5 = 3
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 8.1 to 8.35 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.25
- Each space is (8.35 − 8.1) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 8.1 + 3 × 0.05 = 8.25
5.A number line goes from 5 to 5.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.2
- Each space is (5.4 − 5) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 5 + 2 × 0.1 = 5.2
6.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 3.6 to 3.7 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.68
- Each space is (3.7 − 3.6) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 3.6 + 4 × 0.02 = 3.68
8.A number line goes from 5 to 5.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.6
- Each space is (5.8 − 5) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 5 + 3 × 0.2 = 5.6
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 2.9 to 3.1 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3
- Each space is (3.1 − 2.9) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 2.9 + 2 × 0.05 = 3
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.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
