First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 900 to 980 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 920
- Each space is (980 − 900) ÷ 4 = 20
- 900 + 1 × 20 = 920
2.A number line goes from 2,000 to 3,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2,750
- Each space is (3,000 − 2,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 2,000 + 3 × 250 = 2,750
3.What number is halfway between 150 and 750?
Answer: 450
- 750 − 150 = 600; half of that is 300
- 150 + 300 = 450
4.A number line goes from 100 to 200 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 160
- Each space is (200 − 100) ÷ 5 = 20
- 100 + 3 × 20 = 160
5.A number line goes from 400 to 500 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 450
- Each space is (500 − 400) ÷ 4 = 25
- 400 + 2 × 25 = 450
6.What number is halfway between 230 and 250?
Answer: 240
- 250 − 230 = 20; half of that is 10
- 230 + 10 = 240
7.A number line goes from 600 to 800 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 600. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (800 − 600) ÷ 4 = 50
- 600 + 3 × 50 = 750
8.A number line goes from 400 to 500 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 420
- Each space is (500 − 400) ÷ 5 = 20
- 400 + 1 × 20 = 420
9.What number is halfway between 190 and 350?
Answer: 270
- 350 − 190 = 160; half of that is 80
- 190 + 80 = 270
10.A number line goes from 700 to 1,200 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 900
- Each space is (1,200 − 700) ÷ 5 = 100
- 700 + 2 × 100 = 900
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.
