First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 3.8 to 4.05 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4
- Each space is (4.05 − 3.8) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 3.8 + 4 × 0.05 = 4
2.A number line goes from 8.7 to 8.9 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 8.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.86
- Each space is (8.9 − 8.7) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 8.7 + 8 × 0.02 = 8.86
3.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 7 to 9 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.2
- Each space is (9 − 7) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 7 + 6 × 0.2 = 8.2
5.A number line goes from 3.3 to 3.5 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.4
- Each space is (3.5 − 3.3) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 3.3 + 2 × 0.05 = 3.4
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 6 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 = =
7.A number line goes from 5 to 10 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7
- Each space is (10 − 5) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 5 + 4 × 0.5 = 7
8.A number line goes from 6.8 to 6.9 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.84
- Each space is (6.9 − 6.8) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 6.8 + 2 × 0.02 = 6.84
9.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 8.6 to 8.8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 8.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.72
- Each space is (8.8 − 8.6) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 8.6 + 6 × 0.02 = 8.72
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:
