First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 8.9 to 9.1 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.05
- Each space is (9.1 − 8.9) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 8.9 + 3 × 0.05 = 9.05
2.A number line goes from 4.8 to 5.05 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.9
- Each space is (5.05 − 4.8) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 4.8 + 2 × 0.05 = 4.9
3.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 =
4.A number line goes from 6 to 8.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.5
- Each space is (8.5 − 6) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 6 + 1 × 0.5 = 6.5
5.A number line goes from 5.6 to 5.68 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 5.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.62
- Each space is (5.68 − 5.6) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 5.6 + 1 × 0.02 = 5.62
6.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 3 to 5.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4
- Each space is (5.5 − 3) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 3 + 2 × 0.5 = 4
8.A number line goes from 6 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.3
- Each space is (7 − 6) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 6 + 3 × 0.1 = 6.3
9.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 3 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.6
- Each space is (2 − 1) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 1 + 6 × 0.1 = 1.6
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:
