First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4,000 to 5,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4,750
- Each space is (5,000 − 4,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 4,000 + 3 × 250 = 4,750
2.A number line goes from 400 to 1,400 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,100
- Each space is (1,400 − 400) ÷ 10 = 100
- 400 + 7 × 100 = 1,100
3.What number is halfway between 340 and 380?
Answer: 360
- 380 − 340 = 40; half of that is 20
- 340 + 20 = 360
4.A number line goes from 200 to 280 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 220
- Each space is (280 − 200) ÷ 4 = 20
- 200 + 1 × 20 = 220
5.A number line goes from 400 to 900 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 800
- Each space is (900 − 400) ÷ 5 = 100
- 400 + 4 × 100 = 800
6.What number is halfway between 370 and 910?
Answer: 640
- 910 − 370 = 540; half of that is 270
- 370 + 270 = 640
7.A number line goes from 900 to 1,025 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 950
- Each space is (1,025 − 900) ÷ 5 = 25
- 900 + 2 × 25 = 950
8.A number line goes from 300 to 800 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 350
- Each space is (800 − 300) ÷ 10 = 50
- 300 + 1 × 50 = 350
9.What number is halfway between 150 and 290?
Answer: 220
- 290 − 150 = 140; half of that is 70
- 150 + 70 = 220
10.A number line goes from 600 to 680 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 640
- Each space is (680 − 600) ÷ 4 = 20
- 600 + 2 × 20 = 640
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.
