Year 2 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 2 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4,000 to 5,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4,250
- Each space is (5,250 − 4,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 4,000 + 1 × 250 = 4,250
2.A number line goes from 2,000 to 3,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3,000
- Each space is (3,250 − 2,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 2,000 + 4 × 250 = 3,000
3.What number is halfway between 280 and 320?
Answer: 300
- 320 − 280 = 40; half of that is 20
- 280 + 20 = 300
4.A number line goes from 200 to 600 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (600 − 200) ÷ 4 = 100
- 200 + 3 × 100 = 500
5.A number line goes from 600 to 800 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 700
- Each space is (800 − 600) ÷ 4 = 50
- 600 + 2 × 50 = 700
6.What number is halfway between 320 and 800?
Answer: 560
- 800 − 320 = 480; half of that is 240
- 320 + 240 = 560
7.A number line goes from 800 to 1,050 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 950
- Each space is (1,050 − 800) ÷ 5 = 50
- 800 + 3 × 50 = 950
8.A number line goes from 600 to 850 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (850 − 600) ÷ 5 = 50
- 600 + 3 × 50 = 750
9.What number is halfway between 350 and 550?
Answer: 450
- 550 − 350 = 200; half of that is 100
- 350 + 100 = 450
10.A number line goes from 400 to 650 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (650 − 400) ÷ 10 = 25
- 400 + 4 × 25 = 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.
