First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 7 to 7.8 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.6
- Each space is (7.8 − 7) ÷ 4 = 0.2
- 7 + 3 × 0.2 = 7.6
2.A number line goes from 9 to 10 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.7
- Each space is (10 − 9) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 9 + 7 × 0.1 = 9.7
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
4.A number line goes from 2.4 to 2.65 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2.4. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.55
- Each space is (2.65 − 2.4) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 2.4 + 3 × 0.05 = 2.55
5.A number line goes from 6 to 8.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.5
- Each space is (8.5 − 6) ÷ 5 = 0.5
- 6 + 3 × 0.5 = 7.5
6.A number line goes from 1 to 2 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 1. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 1
- Each space is
- 4 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 2.8 to 3 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2.8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.86
- Each space is (3 − 2.8) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 2.8 + 3 × 0.02 = 2.86
8.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.3
- Each space is (4 − 3) ÷ 10 = 0.1
- 3 + 3 × 0.1 = 3.3
9.A number line goes from 0 to 1 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 9 spaces along from 0. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction.
Answer:
- Each space is
- 9 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 3 to 3.5 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.4
- Each space is (3.5 − 3) ÷ 5 = 0.1
- 3 + 4 × 0.1 = 3.4
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:
