First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 400 to 650 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 525
- Each space is (650 − 400) ÷ 10 = 25
- 400 + 5 × 25 = 525
2.A number line goes from 8,000 to 10,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 8,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 10,000
- Each space is (10,500 − 8,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 8,000 + 8 × 250 = 10,000
3.What number is halfway between 190 and 250?
Answer: 220
- 250 − 190 = 60; half of that is 30
- 190 + 30 = 220
4.A number line goes from 9,000 to 10,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 9,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 10,000
- Each space is (10,250 − 9,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 9,000 + 4 × 250 = 10,000
5.A number line goes from 700 to 1,200 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (1,200 − 700) ÷ 5 = 100
- 700 + 3 × 100 = 1,000
6.What number is halfway between 390 and 450?
Answer: 420
- 450 − 390 = 60; half of that is 30
- 390 + 30 = 420
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 300 to 700 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 600
- Each space is (700 − 300) ÷ 4 = 100
- 300 + 3 × 100 = 600
9.What number is halfway between 210 and 710?
Answer: 460
- 710 − 210 = 500; half of that is 250
- 210 + 250 = 460
10.A number line goes from 500 to 900 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 600
- Each space is (900 − 500) ÷ 4 = 100
- 500 + 1 × 100 = 600
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.
