First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 6 to 8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.5
- Each space is (8 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 6 + 1 × 0.5 = 6.5
2.A number line goes from 7 to 7.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.4
- Each space is (7.5 − 7) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 7 + 4 × 0.1 = 7.4
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
4.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
5.A number line goes from 5 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.6
- Each space is (7 − 5) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 5 + 8 × 0.2 = 6.6
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 4.9 to 5.4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.95
- Each space is (5.4 − 4.9) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 4.9 + 1 × 0.05 = 4.95
8.A number line goes from 0.4 to 0.5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.41
- Each space is (0.5 − 0.4) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 0.4 + 1 × 0.01 = 0.41
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 6 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 2 to 2.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.6
- Each space is (2.8 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 2 + 3 × 0.2 = 2.6
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:
