First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 4.8 to 5.3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 4.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.95
- Each space is (5.3 − 4.8) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 4.8 + 3 × 0.05 = 4.95
2.A number line goes from 0 to 0.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.2
- Each space is (0.4 − 0) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 0 + 2 × 0.1 = 0.2
3.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 5 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 0.7 to 0.95 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 0.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.9
- Each space is (0.95 − 0.7) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 0.7 + 4 × 0.05 = 0.9
5.A number line goes from 6.7 to 6.78 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 6.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.72
- Each space is (6.78 − 6.7) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 6.7 + 1 × 0.02 = 6.72
6.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 6 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 = =
7.A number line goes from 7 to 12 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 11
- Each space is (12 − 7) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 7 + 8 × 0.5 = 11
8.A number line goes from 5 to 10 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6
- Each space is (10 − 5) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 5 + 2 × 0.5 = 6
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 9 to 9.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.2
- Each space is (9.5 − 9) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 9 + 2 × 0.1 = 9.2
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.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
