First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 500 to 750 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 650
- Each space is (750 − 500) ÷ 5 = 50
- 500 + 3 × 50 = 650
2.A number line goes from 200 to 400 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 350
- Each space is (400 − 200) ÷ 4 = 50
- 200 + 3 × 50 = 350
3.What number is halfway between 30 and 330?
Answer: 180
- 330 − 30 = 300; half of that is 150
- 30 + 150 = 180
4.A number line goes from 400 to 600 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 440
- Each space is (600 − 400) ÷ 10 = 20
- 400 + 2 × 20 = 440
5.A number line goes from 400 to 500 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 460
- Each space is (500 − 400) ÷ 5 = 20
- 400 + 3 × 20 = 460
6.What number is halfway between 180 and 740?
Answer: 460
- 740 − 180 = 560; half of that is 280
- 180 + 280 = 460
7.A number line goes from 800 to 1,050 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 925
- Each space is (1,050 − 800) ÷ 10 = 25
- 800 + 5 × 25 = 925
8.A number line goes from 900 to 1,100 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,060
- Each space is (1,100 − 900) ÷ 10 = 20
- 900 + 8 × 20 = 1,060
9.What number is halfway between 280 and 480?
Answer: 380
- 480 − 280 = 200; half of that is 100
- 280 + 100 = 380
10.A number line goes from 200 to 400 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 260
- Each space is (400 − 200) ÷ 10 = 20
- 200 + 3 × 20 = 260
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.
