In this activity, we will be finding numbers that lie between two given numbers.

A number line can help us work out which numbers would be between two numbers. 

This number line could help us to find numbers between 185 and 225.

Any number less than 185 is not allowed.

Any number between 185 and 225 will be fine.

Any number greater than 225 is not allowed.

So there are lots of possible answers, such as:

186, 195, 201, 213

Let's try an example question together. 

Example

Find four numbers between 155 and 195.

Answer

Any number less than 555 is not allowed.

Any number between 155 and 195 will be fine.

Any number greater than 195 is not allowed.

There are many possible answers but some of them could include: 162, 173, 159, and 190.

Now it's your turn to try some questions.
