First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.8
- Each space is (4 − 3) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 3 + 4 × 0.2 = 3.8
2.A number line goes from 4.6 to 4.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 4.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.75
- Each space is (4.8 − 4.6) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 4.6 + 3 × 0.05 = 4.75
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 4 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 8 to 8.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.1
- Each space is (8.4 − 8) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 8 + 1 × 0.1 = 8.1
5.A number line goes from 6.4 to 6.6 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.5
- Each space is (6.6 − 6.4) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 6.4 + 2 × 0.05 = 6.5
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 9.7 to 9.78 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.74
- Each space is (9.78 − 9.7) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 9.7 + 2 × 0.02 = 9.74
8.A number line goes from 4 to 6.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6
- Each space is (6.5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 4 + 4 × 0.5 = 6
9.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 8 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 5 to 7 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6
- Each space is (7 − 5) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 5 + 2 × 0.5 = 6
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.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
