First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 3 to 3.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.1
- Each space is (3.5 − 3) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 3 + 1 × 0.1 = 3.1
2.A number line goes from 6.4 to 6.44 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.42
- Each space is (6.44 − 6.4) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 6.4 + 2 × 0.01 = 6.42
3.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 6 to 11 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8
- Each space is (11 − 6) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 6 + 4 × 0.5 = 8
5.A number line goes from 9.3 to 9.35 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.33
- Each space is (9.35 − 9.3) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 9.3 + 3 × 0.01 = 9.33
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 to 10 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.8
- Each space is (10 − 8) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 8 + 4 × 0.2 = 8.8
8.A number line goes from 8 to 10 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.5
- Each space is (10 − 8) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 8 + 3 × 0.5 = 9.5
9.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 2 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 8 to 9 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.7
- Each space is (9 − 8) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 8 + 7 × 0.1 = 8.7
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:
