First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 1.8 to 2.3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 1.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.05
- Each space is (2.3 − 1.8) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 1.8 + 5 × 0.05 = 2.05
2.A number line goes from 5 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.2
- Each space is (7 − 5) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 5 + 1 × 0.2 = 5.2
3.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 4 to 6.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5
- Each space is (6.5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 4 + 2 × 0.5 = 5
5.A number line goes from 8 to 10 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.8
- Each space is (10 − 8) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 8 + 4 × 0.2 = 8.8
6.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 6 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 8 to 13 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 11
- Each space is (13 − 8) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 8 + 6 × 0.5 = 11
8.A number line goes from 0 to 2 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.5
- Each space is (2 − 0) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 0 + 1 × 0.5 = 0.5
9.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 2.9 to 2.94 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.92
- Each space is (2.94 − 2.9) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 2.9 + 2 × 0.01 = 2.92
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:
