First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 700 to 950 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 900
- Each space is (950 − 700) ÷ 5 = 50
- 700 + 4 × 50 = 900
2.A number line goes from 600 to 1,100 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,050
- Each space is (1,100 − 600) ÷ 10 = 50
- 600 + 9 × 50 = 1,050
3.What number is halfway between 180 and 420?
Answer: 300
- 420 − 180 = 240; half of that is 120
- 180 + 120 = 300
4.A number line goes from 5,000 to 7,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 5,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7,000
- Each space is (7,500 − 5,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 5,000 + 8 × 250 = 7,000
5.A number line goes from 400 to 500 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 480
- Each space is (500 − 400) ÷ 5 = 20
- 400 + 4 × 20 = 480
6.What number is halfway between 190 and 230?
Answer: 210
- 230 − 190 = 40; half of that is 20
- 190 + 20 = 210
7.A number line goes from 0 to 100 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 80
- Each space is (100 − 0) ÷ 5 = 20
- 0 + 4 × 20 = 80
8.A number line goes from 600 to 850 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (850 − 600) ÷ 5 = 50
- 600 + 3 × 50 = 750
9.What number is halfway between 360 and 800?
Answer: 580
- 800 − 360 = 440; half of that is 220
- 360 + 220 = 580
10.A number line goes from 800 to 1,000 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 840
- Each space is (1,000 − 800) ÷ 10 = 20
- 800 + 2 × 20 = 840
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.
