First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 2.8 to 2.9 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.88
- Each space is (2.9 − 2.8) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 2.8 + 4 × 0.02 = 2.88
2.A number line goes from 0.7 to 0.75 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.74
- Each space is (0.75 − 0.7) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 0.7 + 4 × 0.01 = 0.74
3.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 10 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 0 to 0.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.1
- Each space is (0.5 − 0) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 0 + 1 × 0.1 = 0.1
5.A number line goes from 0 to 0.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.3
- Each space is (0.4 − 0) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 0 + 3 × 0.1 = 0.3
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 2 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 6 to 6.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.3
- Each space is (6.4 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 6 + 3 × 0.1 = 6.3
8.A number line goes from 6.7 to 6.9 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.72
- Each space is (6.9 − 6.7) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 6.7 + 1 × 0.02 = 6.72
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 3 to 5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.2
- Each space is (5 − 3) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 3 + 6 × 0.2 = 4.2
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:
