First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 1.2 to 1.4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 1.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.36
- Each space is (1.4 − 1.2) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 1.2 + 8 × 0.02 = 1.36
2.A number line goes from 4.1 to 4.14 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.12
- Each space is (4.14 − 4.1) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 4.1 + 2 × 0.01 = 4.12
3.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
4.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
5.A number line goes from 0.7 to 0.74 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.72
- Each space is (0.74 − 0.7) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 0.7 + 2 × 0.01 = 0.72
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 6 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.3
- Each space is (7 − 6) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 6 + 3 × 0.1 = 6.3
8.A number line goes from 4 to 6.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5
- Each space is (6.5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 4 + 2 × 0.5 = 5
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 3.9 to 4.15 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4
- Each space is (4.15 − 3.9) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 3.9 + 2 × 0.05 = 4
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:
