First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 8.2 to 8.45 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.3
- Each space is (8.45 − 8.2) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 8.2 + 2 × 0.05 = 8.3
2.A number line goes from 8 to 13 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.5
- Each space is (13 − 8) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 8 + 3 × 0.5 = 9.5
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 5 to 5.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.4
- Each space is (5.5 − 5) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 5 + 4 × 0.1 = 5.4
5.A number line goes from 8.8 to 8.88 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.86
- Each space is (8.88 − 8.8) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 8.8 + 3 × 0.02 = 8.86
6.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 5 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 9 to 10 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.6
- Each space is (10 − 9) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 9 + 3 × 0.2 = 9.6
8.A number line goes from 4 to 6 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.5
- Each space is (6 − 4) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 4 + 3 × 0.5 = 5.5
9.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 7 to 8 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.4
- Each space is (8 − 7) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 7 + 2 × 0.2 = 7.4
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:
