In this worksheet you have to put numbers in order, starting with the smallest first and ending with the largest at the end.
This is called ascending order.
Example
Put the numbers in ascending order.
469 | 541 | 931 | 518 |
Answer
Look at the hundreds place first.
469 is the smallest because it has the smallest hundreds digit.
Next we compare 541 and 518.
They both have a 5 in the hundreds place, so we look at the tens place and see that 518 is smaller than 541.
931 is the largest because 931 has the largest hundreds digit.
In ascending order the numbers go:
1. | 2. | 3. | 4. |
469 | 518 | 541 | 931 |
