First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 5.9 to 6.1 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 5.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6
- Each space is (6.1 − 5.9) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 5.9 + 2 × 0.05 = 6
2.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
3.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 5 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 5 spaces = =
4.A number line goes from 8.5 to 8.6 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.56
- Each space is (8.6 − 8.5) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 8.5 + 3 × 0.02 = 8.56
5.A number line goes from 5.7 to 5.9 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 5.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.75
- Each space is (5.9 − 5.7) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 5.7 + 1 × 0.05 = 5.75
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 6 spaces = =
7.A number line goes from 0.3 to 0.55 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 0.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 0.45
- Each space is (0.55 − 0.3) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 0.3 + 3 × 0.05 = 0.45
8.A number line goes from 1.2 to 1.7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 1.2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1.65
- Each space is (1.7 − 1.2) ÷ 10 = 0.05
- 1.2 + 9 × 0.05 = 1.65
9.A number line goes from 2 to 3 and is split into 10 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 =
10.A number line goes from 4 to 4.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.4
- Each space is (4.5 − 4) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 4 + 4 × 0.1 = 4.4
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.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
