This activity is about putting numbers in order.

Remember that 14 is smaller than 15, which is smaller than 16.....etc.

And 14 is smaller than 24, which is smaller than 34.....etc.

Example

Match the smallest number to A, the next largest to B, the next to C etc.

10    12   23    11    21

Answer

Find the smallest. This is 10.

Next comes 11.

Then 12.

Then 21.

The largest is 23.

A = 10

B = 11

C = 12

D = 21

E = 23

How do you feel about comparing and sorting numbers now?

Let's have a go at some questions then.
