First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 5 to 6 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.2
- Each space is (6 − 5) ÷ 5 = 0.2
- 5 + 1 × 0.2 = 5.2
2.A number line goes from 2 to 2.08 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.06
- Each space is (2.08 − 2) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 2 + 3 × 0.02 = 2.06
3.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 6 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 4 spaces = =
4.A number line goes from 2.5 to 2.7 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 2.5. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.65
- Each space is (2.7 − 2.5) ÷ 4 = 0.05
- 2.5 + 3 × 0.05 = 2.65
5.A number line goes from 9.7 to 9.8 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 9.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 9.78
- Each space is (9.8 − 9.7) ÷ 5 = 0.02
- 9.7 + 4 × 0.02 = 9.78
6.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 3 spaces =
7.A number line goes from 6 to 6.4 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 6.2
- Each space is (6.4 − 6) ÷ 4 = 0.1
- 6 + 2 × 0.1 = 6.2
8.A number line goes from 7.9 to 7.98 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 7.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.92
- Each space is (7.98 − 7.9) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 7.9 + 1 × 0.02 = 7.92
9.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 8 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 2.6 to 2.7 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 6 spaces along from 2.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.66
- Each space is (2.7 − 2.6) ÷ 10 = 0.01
- 2.6 + 6 × 0.01 = 2.66
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:
