First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 5 to 10 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.5
- Each space is (10 − 5) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 5 + 7 × 0.5 = 8.5
2.A number line goes from 6 to 11 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8
- Each space is (11 − 6) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 6 + 4 × 0.5 = 8
3.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 4.1 to 4.3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 4.1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.24
- Each space is (4.3 − 4.1) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 4.1 + 7 × 0.02 = 4.24
5.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.4
- Each space is (4 − 3) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 3 + 4 × 0.1 = 3.4
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 9.5 to 9.58 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 9.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.52
- Each space is (9.58 − 9.5) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 9.5 + 1 × 0.02 = 9.52
8.A number line goes from 5.9 to 5.94 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 5.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.93
- Each space is (5.94 − 5.9) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 5.9 + 3 × 0.01 = 5.93
9.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 5 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 5 to 5.1 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.04
- Each space is (5.1 − 5) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 5 + 2 × 0.02 = 5.04
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:
