First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 8 to 10.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.5
- Each space is (10.5 − 8) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 8 + 3 × 0.5 = 9.5
2.A number line goes from 2 to 2.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.2
- Each space is (2.8 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 2 + 1 × 0.2 = 2.2
3.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 4.1 to 4.3 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.2
- Each space is (4.3 − 4.1) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 4.1 + 2 × 0.05 = 4.2
5.A number line goes from 4 to 6 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.4
- Each space is (6 − 4) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 4 + 2 × 0.2 = 4.4
6.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 5 to 6 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.8
- Each space is (6 − 5) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 5 + 8 × 0.1 = 5.8
8.A number line goes from 8.4 to 8.65 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.5
- Each space is (8.65 − 8.4) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 8.4 + 2 × 0.05 = 8.5
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 7.3 to 7.35 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 7.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.34
- Each space is (7.35 − 7.3) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 7.3 + 4 × 0.01 = 7.34
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:
