First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 200 to 280 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 260
- Each space is (280 − 200) ÷ 4 = 20
- 200 + 3 × 20 = 260
2.A number line goes from 5,000 to 7,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 5,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6,250
- Each space is (7,500 − 5,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 5,000 + 5 × 250 = 6,250
3.What number is halfway between 150 and 190?
Answer: 170
- 190 − 150 = 40; half of that is 20
- 150 + 20 = 170
4.A number line goes from 600 to 700 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 640
- Each space is (700 − 600) ÷ 5 = 20
- 600 + 2 × 20 = 640
5.A number line goes from 0 to 1,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (1,000 − 0) ÷ 4 = 250
- 0 + 2 × 250 = 500
6.What number is halfway between 150 and 470?
Answer: 310
- 470 − 150 = 320; half of that is 160
- 150 + 160 = 310
7.A number line goes from 500 to 600 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 580
- Each space is (600 − 500) ÷ 5 = 20
- 500 + 4 × 20 = 580
8.A number line goes from 800 to 1,300 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,100
- Each space is (1,300 − 800) ÷ 5 = 100
- 800 + 3 × 100 = 1,100
9.What number is halfway between 160 and 460?
Answer: 310
- 460 − 160 = 300; half of that is 150
- 160 + 150 = 310
10.A number line goes from 5,000 to 6,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 5,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5,750
- Each space is (6,250 − 5,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 5,000 + 3 × 250 = 5,750
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.
