First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 600 to 800 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 700
- Each space is (800 − 600) ÷ 4 = 50
- 600 + 2 × 50 = 700
2.A number line goes from 300 to 400 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 350
- Each space is (400 − 300) ÷ 4 = 25
- 300 + 2 × 25 = 350
3.What number is halfway between 80 and 580?
Answer: 330
- 580 − 80 = 500; half of that is 250
- 80 + 250 = 330
4.A number line goes from 0 to 100 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 75
- Each space is (100 − 0) ÷ 4 = 25
- 0 + 3 × 25 = 75
5.A number line goes from 2,000 to 3,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2,250
- Each space is (3,250 − 2,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 2,000 + 1 × 250 = 2,250
6.What number is halfway between 90 and 230?
Answer: 160
- 230 − 90 = 140; half of that is 70
- 90 + 70 = 160
7.A number line goes from 1,000 to 2,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,750
- Each space is (2,250 − 1,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 1,000 + 3 × 250 = 1,750
8.A number line goes from 400 to 650 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 425
- Each space is (650 − 400) ÷ 10 = 25
- 400 + 1 × 25 = 425
9.What number is halfway between 30 and 230?
Answer: 130
- 230 − 30 = 200; half of that is 100
- 30 + 100 = 130
10.A number line goes from 600 to 850 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (850 − 600) ÷ 10 = 25
- 600 + 6 × 25 = 750
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.
