In this worksheet, we must put integers in order, smallest first. This is called ascending order.
Example
Arrange the following integers in ascending order, putting the smallest first.
| 48 | 56 | 14 | -35 | -2 |
Answer
Look at the negative numbers first.
The smallest negative number is -35, then -2.
Then look at the positive numbers.
The smallest positive number is 14. Then comes 48 and finally the largest number is 56.
The numbers in ascending order are:
| -35 | -2 | 14 | 48 | 56 |
