First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 900 to 1,100 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (1,100 − 900) ÷ 4 = 50
- 900 + 2 × 50 = 1,000
2.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
3.What number is halfway between 80 and 460?
Answer: 270
- 460 − 80 = 380; half of that is 190
- 80 + 190 = 270
4.A number line goes from 700 to 1,100 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (1,100 − 700) ÷ 4 = 100
- 700 + 3 × 100 = 1,000
5.A number line goes from 4,000 to 5,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4,500
- Each space is (5,250 − 4,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 4,000 + 2 × 250 = 4,500
6.What number is halfway between 370 and 590?
Answer: 480
- 590 − 370 = 220; half of that is 110
- 370 + 110 = 480
7.A number line goes from 700 to 800 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 760
- Each space is (800 − 700) ÷ 5 = 20
- 700 + 3 × 20 = 760
8.A number line goes from 700 to 950 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (950 − 700) ÷ 5 = 50
- 700 + 1 × 50 = 750
9.What number is halfway between 400 and 700?
Answer: 550
- 700 − 400 = 300; half of that is 150
- 400 + 150 = 550
10.A number line goes from 200 to 300 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 275
- Each space is (300 − 200) ÷ 4 = 25
- 200 + 3 × 25 = 275
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.
