Year 2 Number Lines Worksheet — Level 2 — Practice Set 3 — Answers
First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 1,000 to 2,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,250
- Each space is (2,250 − 1,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 1,000 + 1 × 250 = 1,250
2.A number line goes from 3,000 to 4,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3,750
- Each space is (4,000 − 3,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 3,000 + 3 × 250 = 3,750
3.What number is halfway between 390 and 830?
Answer: 610
- 830 − 390 = 440; half of that is 220
- 390 + 220 = 610
4.A number line goes from 6,000 to 8,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 6,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7,500
- Each space is (8,500 − 6,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 6,000 + 6 × 250 = 7,500
5.A number line goes from 200 to 700 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 400
- Each space is (700 − 200) ÷ 5 = 100
- 200 + 2 × 100 = 400
6.What number is halfway between 90 and 590?
Answer: 340
- 590 − 90 = 500; half of that is 250
- 90 + 250 = 340
7.A number line goes from 300 to 800 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 600
- Each space is (800 − 300) ÷ 5 = 100
- 300 + 3 × 100 = 600
8.A number line goes from 600 to 1,100 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 850
- Each space is (1,100 − 600) ÷ 10 = 50
- 600 + 5 × 50 = 850
9.What number is halfway between 130 and 630?
Answer: 380
- 630 − 130 = 500; half of that is 250
- 130 + 250 = 380
10.A number line goes from 0 to 100 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 60
- Each space is (100 − 0) ÷ 5 = 20
- 0 + 3 × 20 = 60
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.
