Year 7 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 2 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 9.6 to 10.1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 9.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.9
- Each space is (10.1 − 9.6) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 9.6 + 6 × 0.05 = 9.9
2.A number line goes from 9.7 to 9.8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 9.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.78
- Each space is (9.8 − 9.7) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 9.7 + 8 × 0.01 = 9.78
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 7 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 9.6 to 10.1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.75
- Each space is (10.1 − 9.6) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 9.6 + 3 × 0.05 = 9.75
5.A number line goes from 2.7 to 2.8 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.78
- Each space is (2.8 − 2.7) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 2.7 + 4 × 0.02 = 2.78
6.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 8 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 4.2 to 4.3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 4.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.28
- Each space is (4.3 − 4.2) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 4.2 + 8 × 0.01 = 4.28
8.A number line goes from 3.9 to 3.95 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.94
- Each space is (3.95 − 3.9) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 3.9 + 4 × 0.01 = 3.94
9.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 3 to 8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.5
- Each space is (8 − 3) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 3 + 7 × 0.5 = 6.5
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:
