First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 1 to 3 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.5
- Each space is (3 − 1) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 1 + 3 × 0.5 = 2.5
2.A number line goes from 8 to 8.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.4
- Each space is (8.5 − 8) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 8 + 4 × 0.1 = 8.4
3.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 6.4 to 6.48 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.44
- Each space is (6.48 − 6.4) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 6.4 + 2 × 0.02 = 6.44
5.A number line goes from 9.7 to 9.75 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.72
- Each space is (9.75 − 9.7) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 9.7 + 2 × 0.01 = 9.72
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 5.7 to 5.75 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 5.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.74
- Each space is (5.75 − 5.7) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 5.7 + 4 × 0.01 = 5.74
8.A number line goes from 8.2 to 8.24 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.22
- Each space is (8.24 − 8.2) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 8.2 + 2 × 0.01 = 8.22
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 4.3 to 4.35 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.32
- Each space is (4.35 − 4.3) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 4.3 + 2 × 0.01 = 4.32
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.
