First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 3 to 8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4
- Each space is (8 − 3) ÷ 10 = 0.5
- 3 + 2 × 0.5 = 4
2.A number line goes from 8 to 8.08 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 8. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8.04
- Each space is (8.08 − 8) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 8 + 2 × 0.02 = 8.04
3.A number line goes from 3 to 4 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 3
- Each space is
- 2 spaces =
4.A number line goes from 7 to 9 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 7.4
- Each space is (9 − 7) ÷ 10 = 0.2
- 7 + 2 × 0.2 = 7.4
5.A number line goes from 4.6 to 4.8 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 4.6. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 4.74
- Each space is (4.8 − 4.6) ÷ 10 = 0.02
- 4.6 + 7 × 0.02 = 4.74
6.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 6 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 =
7.A number line goes from 3.3 to 3.34 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 3.3. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 3.32
- Each space is (3.34 − 3.3) ÷ 4 = 0.01
- 3.3 + 2 × 0.01 = 3.32
8.A number line goes from 2.7 to 2.95 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 2.7. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 2.9
- Each space is (2.95 − 2.7) ÷ 5 = 0.05
- 2.7 + 4 × 0.05 = 2.9
9.A number line goes from 4 to 5 and is split into 3 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 4. Write the number at the arrow as a fraction or mixed number.
Answer: 4
- Each space is
- 1 spaces =
10.A number line goes from 5.9 to 5.98 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 5.9. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 5.96
- Each space is (5.98 − 5.9) ÷ 4 = 0.02
- 5.9 + 3 × 0.02 = 5.96
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:
