First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 8,000 to 9,250 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 8,000. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 8,750
- Each space is (9,250 − 8,000) ÷ 5 = 250
- 8,000 + 3 × 250 = 8,750
2.A number line goes from 500 to 1,000 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 850
- Each space is (1,000 − 500) ÷ 10 = 50
- 500 + 7 × 50 = 850
3.What number is halfway between 100 and 340?
Answer: 220
- 340 − 100 = 240; half of that is 120
- 100 + 120 = 220
4.A number line goes from 100 to 300 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 8 spaces along from 100. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 260
- Each space is (300 − 100) ÷ 10 = 20
- 100 + 8 × 20 = 260
5.A number line goes from 500 to 900 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 700
- Each space is (900 − 500) ÷ 4 = 100
- 500 + 2 × 100 = 700
6.What number is halfway between 280 and 860?
Answer: 570
- 860 − 280 = 580; half of that is 290
- 280 + 290 = 570
7.A number line goes from 500 to 750 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 600
- Each space is (750 − 500) ÷ 10 = 25
- 500 + 4 × 25 = 600
8.A number line goes from 700 to 1,700 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 900
- Each space is (1,700 − 700) ÷ 10 = 100
- 700 + 2 × 100 = 900
9.What number is halfway between 40 and 80?
Answer: 60
- 80 − 40 = 40; half of that is 20
- 40 + 20 = 60
10.A number line goes from 0 to 1,000 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 500
- Each space is (1,000 − 0) ÷ 4 = 250
- 0 + 2 × 250 = 500
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.
