First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 200 to 280 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 260
- Each space is (280 − 200) ÷ 4 = 20
- 200 + 3 × 20 = 260
2.A number line goes from 7,000 to 8,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 7,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7,750
- Each space is (8,000 − 7,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 7,000 + 3 × 250 = 7,750
3.What number is halfway between 160 and 700?
Answer: 430
- 700 − 160 = 540; half of that is 270
- 160 + 270 = 430
4.A number line goes from 0 to 1,000 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 900
- Each space is (1,000 − 0) ÷ 10 = 100
- 0 + 9 × 100 = 900
5.A number line goes from 2,000 to 3,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3,000
- Each space is (3,250 − 2,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 2,000 + 4 × 250 = 3,000
6.What number is halfway between 310 and 650?
Answer: 480
- 650 − 310 = 340; half of that is 170
- 310 + 170 = 480
7.A number line goes from 200 to 400 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 300
- Each space is (400 − 200) ÷ 4 = 50
- 200 + 2 × 50 = 300
8.A number line goes from 400 to 650 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 400. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 600
- Each space is (650 − 400) ÷ 10 = 25
- 400 + 8 × 25 = 600
9.What number is halfway between 160 and 460?
Answer: 310
- 460 − 160 = 300; half of that is 150
- 160 + 150 = 310
10.A number line goes from 4,000 to 5,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4,250
- Each space is (5,000 − 4,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 4,000 + 1 × 250 = 4,250
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.
