First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 2 to 2.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.3
- Each space is (2.5 − 2) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 2 + 3 × 0.1 = 2.3
2.A number line goes from 0.8 to 1.3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.85
- Each space is (1.3 − 0.8) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 0.8 + 1 × 0.05 = 0.85
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 5 spaces = =
4.A number line goes from 2 to 2.1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.06
- Each space is (2.1 − 2) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 2 + 6 × 0.01 = 2.06
5.A number line goes from 3 to 3.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.2
- Each space is (3.5 − 3) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 3 + 2 × 0.1 = 3.2
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 4 to 6 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.4
- Each space is (6 − 4) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 4 + 7 × 0.2 = 5.4
8.A number line goes from 6 to 6.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.3
- Each space is (6.4 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 6 + 3 × 0.1 = 6.3
9.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 7 to 8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.7
- Each space is (8 − 7) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 7 + 7 × 0.1 = 7.7
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.
