First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 200 to 325 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 275
- Each space is (325 − 200) ÷ 5 = 25
- 200 + 3 × 25 = 275
2.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
3.What number is halfway between 240 and 480?
Answer: 360
- 480 − 240 = 240; half of that is 120
- 240 + 120 = 360
4.A number line goes from 0 to 2,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (2,500 − 0) ÷ 10 = 250
- 0 + 3 × 250 = 750
5.A number line goes from 300 to 550 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 300. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 450
- Each space is (550 − 300) ÷ 10 = 25
- 300 + 6 × 25 = 450
6.What number is halfway between 290 and 510?
Answer: 400
- 510 − 290 = 220; half of that is 110
- 290 + 110 = 400
7.A number line goes from 900 to 1,400 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (1,400 − 900) ÷ 5 = 100
- 900 + 1 × 100 = 1,000
8.A number line goes from 4,000 to 6,500 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 4,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5,500
- Each space is (6,500 − 4,000) ÷ 10 = 250
- 4,000 + 6 × 250 = 5,500
9.What number is halfway between 170 and 290?
Answer: 230
- 290 − 170 = 120; half of that is 60
- 170 + 60 = 230
10.A number line goes from 700 to 1,200 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,150
- Each space is (1,200 − 700) ÷ 10 = 50
- 700 + 9 × 50 = 1,150
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.
