First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 60 to 85 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 60. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 80
- Each space is (85 − 60) ÷ 5 = 5
- 60 + 4 × 5 = 80
2.A number line goes from 50 to 60 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 50. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 55
- Each space is (60 − 50) ÷ 10 = 1
- 50 + 5 × 1 = 55
3.A number line goes from 60 to 85 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 60. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 70
- Each space is (85 − 60) ÷ 5 = 5
- 60 + 2 × 5 = 70
4.A number line goes from 80 to 85 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 80. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 81
- Each space is (85 − 80) ÷ 5 = 1
- 80 + 1 × 1 = 81
5.A number line goes from 40 to 90 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 40. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 60
- Each space is (90 − 40) ÷ 10 = 5
- 40 + 4 × 5 = 60
6.A number line goes from 60 to 65 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 60. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 62
- Each space is (65 − 60) ÷ 5 = 1
- 60 + 2 × 1 = 62
7.A number line goes from 500 to 600 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 570
- Each space is (600 − 500) ÷ 10 = 10
- 500 + 7 × 10 = 570
8.A number line goes from 100 to 150 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 120
- Each space is (150 − 100) ÷ 5 = 10
- 100 + 2 × 10 = 120
9.A number line goes from 80 to 105 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 80. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 95
- Each space is (105 − 80) ÷ 5 = 5
- 80 + 3 × 5 = 95
10.A number line goes from 600 to 700 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 670
- Each space is (700 − 600) ÷ 10 = 10
- 600 + 7 × 10 = 670
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.
