First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 2 to 2.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.2
- Each space is (2.4 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 2 + 2 × 0.1 = 2.2
2.A number line goes from 4 to 4.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.2
- Each space is (4.5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 4 + 2 × 0.1 = 4.2
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 1 to 1.5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.4
- Each space is (1.5 − 1) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 1 + 8 × 0.05 = 1.4
5.A number line goes from 6.8 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 6.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.88
- Each space is (7 − 6.8) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 6.8 + 4 × 0.02 = 6.88
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 4 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 =
7.A number line goes from 7 to 8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.6
- Each space is (8 − 7) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 7 + 6 × 0.1 = 7.6
8.A number line goes from 2 to 2.04 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.03
- Each space is (2.04 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 2 + 3 × 0.01 = 2.03
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 2 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 2.6 to 2.65 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.64
- Each space is (2.65 − 2.6) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 2.6 + 4 × 0.01 = 2.64
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.
