First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.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
2.A number line goes from 6 to 11 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.5
- Each space is (11 − 6) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 6 + 5 × 0.5 = 8.5
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 2.9 to 3.1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.98
- Each space is (3.1 − 2.9) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 2.9 + 4 × 0.02 = 2.98
5.A number line goes from 6 to 6.1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.07
- Each space is (6.1 − 6) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 6 + 7 × 0.01 = 6.07
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 2.3 to 2.35 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.31
- Each space is (2.35 − 2.3) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 2.3 + 1 × 0.01 = 2.31
8.A number line goes from 2 to 2.05 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.01
- Each space is (2.05 − 2) ÷ 5 = 0.01
- 2 + 1 × 0.01 = 2.01
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 7 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 7.4 to 7.5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.42
- Each space is (7.5 − 7.4) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 7.4 + 2 × 0.01 = 7.42
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:
