First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 80 to 130 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 80. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 115
- Each space is (130 − 80) ÷ 10 = 5
- 80 + 7 × 5 = 115
2.A number line goes from 40 to 90 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 40. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 50
- Each space is (90 − 40) ÷ 10 = 5
- 40 + 2 × 5 = 50
3.A number line goes from 20 to 30 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 20. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 28
- Each space is (30 − 20) ÷ 5 = 2
- 20 + 4 × 2 = 28
4.A number line goes from 70 to 75 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 70. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 71
- Each space is (75 − 70) ÷ 5 = 1
- 70 + 1 × 1 = 71
5.A number line goes from 30 to 50 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 30. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 38
- Each space is (50 − 30) ÷ 10 = 2
- 30 + 4 × 2 = 38
6.A number line goes from 40 to 60 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 40. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 58
- Each space is (60 − 40) ÷ 10 = 2
- 40 + 9 × 2 = 58
7.A number line goes from 300 to 350 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 340
- Each space is (350 − 300) ÷ 5 = 10
- 300 + 4 × 10 = 340
8.A number line goes from 0 to 50 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 15
- Each space is (50 − 0) ÷ 10 = 5
- 0 + 3 × 5 = 15
9.A number line goes from 10 to 30 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 10. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 16
- Each space is (30 − 10) ÷ 10 = 2
- 10 + 3 × 2 = 16
10.A number line goes from 60 to 110 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 60. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 105
- Each space is (110 − 60) ÷ 10 = 5
- 60 + 9 × 5 = 105
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.
