First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 70 to 95 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 70. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 80
- Each space is (95 − 70) ÷ 5 = 5
- 70 + 2 × 5 = 80
2.A number line goes from 600 to 650 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 640
- Each space is (650 − 600) ÷ 5 = 10
- 600 + 4 × 10 = 640
3.A number line goes from 70 to 90 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 70. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 72
- Each space is (90 − 70) ÷ 10 = 2
- 70 + 1 × 2 = 72
4.A number line goes from 20 to 30 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 20. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 25
- Each space is (30 − 20) ÷ 10 = 1
- 20 + 5 × 1 = 25
5.A number line goes from 90 to 115 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 90. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 100
- Each space is (115 − 90) ÷ 5 = 5
- 90 + 2 × 5 = 100
6.A number line goes from 900 to 1,000 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 990
- Each space is (1,000 − 900) ÷ 10 = 10
- 900 + 9 × 10 = 990
7.A number line goes from 10 to 35 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 10. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 30
- Each space is (35 − 10) ÷ 5 = 5
- 10 + 4 × 5 = 30
8.A number line goes from 40 to 45 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 40. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 43
- Each space is (45 − 40) ÷ 5 = 1
- 40 + 3 × 1 = 43
9.A number line goes from 200 to 300 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 290
- Each space is (300 − 200) ÷ 10 = 10
- 200 + 9 × 10 = 290
10.A number line goes from 70 to 80 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 70. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 73
- Each space is (80 − 70) ÷ 10 = 1
- 70 + 3 × 1 = 73
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.
