First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4 to 4.1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.04
- Each space is (4.1 − 4) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 4 + 4 × 0.01 = 4.04
2.A number line goes from 9 to 9.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.4
- Each space is (9.8 − 9) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 9 + 2 × 0.2 = 9.4
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.2
- Each space is (5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 4 + 1 × 0.2 = 4.2
5.A number line goes from 6 to 6.1 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.04
- Each space is (6.1 − 6) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 6 + 2 × 0.02 = 6.04
6.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 8 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 0 to 5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3
- Each space is (5 − 0) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 0 + 6 × 0.5 = 3
8.A number line goes from 6.4 to 6.48 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.44
- Each space is (6.48 − 6.4) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 6.4 + 2 × 0.02 = 6.44
9.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 10 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 = =
10.A number line goes from 6.4 to 6.48 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.42
- Each space is (6.48 − 6.4) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 6.4 + 1 × 0.02 = 6.42
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:
