First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 2 to 4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3
- Each space is (4 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 2 + 2 × 0.5 = 3
2.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.4
- Each space is (5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 4 + 2 × 0.2 = 4.4
3.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 3.4 to 3.6 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 3.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.52
- Each space is (3.6 − 3.4) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 3.4 + 6 × 0.02 = 3.52
5.A number line goes from 6 to 7 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.8
- Each space is (7 − 6) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 6 + 4 × 0.2 = 6.8
6.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 1 to 3.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 1. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.5
- Each space is (3.5 − 1) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 1 + 3 × 0.5 = 2.5
8.A number line goes from 2.3 to 2.5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.34
- Each space is (2.5 − 2.3) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 2.3 + 2 × 0.02 = 2.34
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 2
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 2 to 7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3
- Each space is (7 − 2) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 2 + 2 × 0.5 = 3
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.
