First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.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
2.A number line goes from 0 to 100 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 75
- Each space is (100 − 0) ÷ 4 = 25
- 0 + 3 × 25 = 75
3.What number is halfway between 400 and 560?
Answer: 480
- 560 − 400 = 160; half of that is 80
- 400 + 80 = 480
4.A number line goes from 800 to 1,050 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 850
- Each space is (1,050 − 800) ÷ 5 = 50
- 800 + 1 × 50 = 850
5.A number line goes from 900 to 1,150 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 925
- Each space is (1,150 − 900) ÷ 10 = 25
- 900 + 1 × 25 = 925
6.What number is halfway between 400 and 440?
Answer: 420
- 440 − 400 = 40; half of that is 20
- 400 + 20 = 420
7.A number line goes from 0 to 2,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (2,500 − 0) ÷ 10 = 250
- 0 + 4 × 250 = 1,000
8.A number line goes from 400 to 480 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 420
- Each space is (480 − 400) ÷ 4 = 20
- 400 + 1 × 20 = 420
9.What number is halfway between 370 and 770?
Answer: 570
- 770 − 370 = 400; half of that is 200
- 370 + 200 = 570
10.A number line goes from 5,000 to 6,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5,500
- Each space is (6,000 − 5,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 5,000 + 2 × 250 = 5,500
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.
