First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 500 to 700 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 600
- Each space is (700 − 500) ÷ 4 = 50
- 500 + 2 × 50 = 600
2.A number line goes from 5,000 to 7,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 5,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6,000
- Each space is (7,500 − 5,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 5,000 + 4 × 250 = 6,000
3.What number is halfway between 280 and 700?
Answer: 490
- 700 − 280 = 420; half of that is 210
- 280 + 210 = 490
4.A number line goes from 300 to 700 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 400
- Each space is (700 − 300) ÷ 4 = 100
- 300 + 1 × 100 = 400
5.A number line goes from 300 to 800 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (800 − 300) ÷ 5 = 100
- 300 + 2 × 100 = 500
6.What number is halfway between 200 and 460?
Answer: 330
- 460 − 200 = 260; half of that is 130
- 200 + 130 = 330
7.A number line goes from 900 to 1,400 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,050
- Each space is (1,400 − 900) ÷ 10 = 50
- 900 + 3 × 50 = 1,050
8.A number line goes from 100 to 200 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 180
- Each space is (200 − 100) ÷ 5 = 20
- 100 + 4 × 20 = 180
9.What number is halfway between 50 and 590?
Answer: 320
- 590 − 50 = 540; half of that is 270
- 50 + 270 = 320
10.A number line goes from 300 to 1,300 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 800
- Each space is (1,300 − 300) ÷ 10 = 100
- 300 + 5 × 100 = 800
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.
