First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 2 to 2.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.3
- Each space is (2.4 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 2 + 3 × 0.1 = 2.3
2.A number line goes from 7.7 to 7.9 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.8
- Each space is (7.9 − 7.7) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 7.7 + 2 × 0.05 = 7.8
3.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 0 to 2.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.5
- Each space is (2.5 − 0) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 0 + 3 × 0.5 = 1.5
5.A number line goes from 0.5 to 1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 0.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.8
- Each space is (1 − 0.5) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 0.5 + 6 × 0.05 = 0.8
6.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 9 to 11.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 10.5
- Each space is (11.5 − 9) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 9 + 3 × 0.5 = 10.5
8.A number line goes from 6 to 8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.5
- Each space is (8 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 6 + 1 × 0.5 = 6.5
9.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 3 spaces = =
10.A number line goes from 1 to 1.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.4
- Each space is (1.8 − 1) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 1 + 2 × 0.2 = 1.4
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.
