First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 900 to 1,300 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 900. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,000
- Each space is (1,300 − 900) ÷ 4 = 100
- 900 + 1 × 100 = 1,000
2.A number line goes from 200 to 280 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 260
- Each space is (280 − 200) ÷ 4 = 20
- 200 + 3 × 20 = 260
3.What number is halfway between 150 and 730?
Answer: 440
- 730 − 150 = 580; half of that is 290
- 150 + 290 = 440
4.A number line goes from 800 to 925 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 850
- Each space is (925 − 800) ÷ 5 = 25
- 800 + 2 × 25 = 850
5.A number line goes from 800 to 1,300 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 800. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 850
- Each space is (1,300 − 800) ÷ 10 = 50
- 800 + 1 × 50 = 850
6.What number is halfway between 220 and 360?
Answer: 290
- 360 − 220 = 140; half of that is 70
- 220 + 70 = 290
7.A number line goes from 3,000 to 4,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4,000
- Each space is (4,250 − 3,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 3,000 + 4 × 250 = 4,000
8.A number line goes from 700 to 800 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 775
- Each space is (800 − 700) ÷ 4 = 25
- 700 + 3 × 25 = 775
9.What number is halfway between 340 and 440?
Answer: 390
- 440 − 340 = 100; half of that is 50
- 340 + 50 = 390
10.A number line goes from 2,000 to 3,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2,750
- Each space is (3,000 − 2,000) ÷ 4 = 250
- 2,000 + 3 × 250 = 2,750
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.
