First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 900 to 1,025 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 975
- Each space is (1,025 − 900) ÷ 5 = 25
- 900 + 3 × 25 = 975
2.A number line goes from 500 to 600 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 575
- Each space is (600 − 500) ÷ 4 = 25
- 500 + 3 × 25 = 575
3.What number is halfway between 80 and 260?
Answer: 170
- 260 − 80 = 180; half of that is 90
- 80 + 90 = 170
4.A number line goes from 7,000 to 8,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7,500
- Each space is (8,000 − 7,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 7,000 + 2 × 250 = 7,500
5.A number line goes from 0 to 100 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 20
- Each space is (100 − 0) ÷ 5 = 20
- 0 + 1 × 20 = 20
6.What number is halfway between 350 and 850?
Answer: 600
- 850 − 350 = 500; half of that is 250
- 350 + 250 = 600
7.A number line goes from 100 to 600 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 200
- Each space is (600 − 100) ÷ 5 = 100
- 100 + 1 × 100 = 200
8.A number line goes from 400 to 500 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 450
- Each space is (500 − 400) ÷ 4 = 25
- 400 + 2 × 25 = 450
9.What number is halfway between 230 and 250?
Answer: 240
- 250 − 230 = 20; half of that is 10
- 230 + 10 = 240
10.A number line goes from 8,000 to 10,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 8,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9,750
- Each space is (10,500 − 8,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 8,000 + 7 × 250 = 9,750
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.
