First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.4
- Each space is (3 − 2) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 2 + 2 × 0.2 = 2.4
2.A number line goes from 7.3 to 7.5 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.4
- Each space is (7.5 − 7.3) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 7.3 + 2 × 0.05 = 7.4
3.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 0.7 to 0.95 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.8
- Each space is (0.95 − 0.7) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 0.7 + 2 × 0.05 = 0.8
5.A number line goes from 2.2 to 2.3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.21
- Each space is (2.3 − 2.2) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 2.2 + 1 × 0.01 = 2.21
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 5 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 8.2 to 8.28 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.24
- Each space is (8.28 − 8.2) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 8.2 + 2 × 0.02 = 8.24
8.A number line goes from 5.2 to 5.3 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 5.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.28
- Each space is (5.3 − 5.2) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 5.2 + 4 × 0.02 = 5.28
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 5 to 5.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.4
- Each space is (5.8 − 5) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 5 + 2 × 0.2 = 5.4
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:
