First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 8,000 to 9,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8,750
- Each space is (9,000 − 8,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 8,000 + 3 × 250 = 8,750
2.A number line goes from 100 to 225 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 150
- Each space is (225 − 100) ÷ 5 = 25
- 100 + 2 × 25 = 150
3.What number is halfway between 220 and 520?
Answer: 370
- 520 − 220 = 300; half of that is 150
- 220 + 150 = 370
4.A number line goes from 100 to 300 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 280
- Each space is (300 − 100) ÷ 10 = 20
- 100 + 9 × 20 = 280
5.A number line goes from 800 to 1,300 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 900
- Each space is (1,300 − 800) ÷ 5 = 100
- 800 + 1 × 100 = 900
6.What number is halfway between 220 and 440?
Answer: 330
- 440 − 220 = 220; half of that is 110
- 220 + 110 = 330
7.A number line goes from 6,000 to 7,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6,750
- Each space is (7,000 − 6,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 6,000 + 3 × 250 = 6,750
8.A number line goes from 200 to 450 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 375
- Each space is (450 − 200) ÷ 10 = 25
- 200 + 7 × 25 = 375
9.What number is halfway between 60 and 660?
Answer: 360
- 660 − 60 = 600; half of that is 300
- 60 + 300 = 360
10.A number line goes from 300 to 500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 460
- Each space is (500 − 300) ÷ 10 = 20
- 300 + 8 × 20 = 460
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.
