First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 30 to 55 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 30. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 50
- Each space is (55 − 30) ÷ 5 = 5
- 30 + 4 × 5 = 50
2.A number line goes from 90 to 100 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 90. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 98
- Each space is (100 − 90) ÷ 5 = 2
- 90 + 4 × 2 = 98
3.A number line goes from 60 to 70 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 60. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 64
- Each space is (70 − 60) ÷ 5 = 2
- 60 + 2 × 2 = 64
4.A number line goes from 500 to 550 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 530
- Each space is (550 − 500) ÷ 5 = 10
- 500 + 3 × 10 = 530
5.A number line goes from 0 to 10 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8
- Each space is (10 − 0) ÷ 10 = 1
- 0 + 8 × 1 = 8
6.A number line goes from 600 to 700 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 650
- Each space is (700 − 600) ÷ 10 = 10
- 600 + 5 × 10 = 650
7.A number line goes from 70 to 95 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 70. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 90
- Each space is (95 − 70) ÷ 5 = 5
- 70 + 4 × 5 = 90
8.A number line goes from 50 to 60 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 50. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 58
- Each space is (60 − 50) ÷ 10 = 1
- 50 + 8 × 1 = 58
9.A number line goes from 50 to 55 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 50. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 51
- Each space is (55 − 50) ÷ 5 = 1
- 50 + 1 × 1 = 51
10.A number line goes from 30 to 50 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 30. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 40

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.
