In this worksheet we will put the temperatures in order.
Example
Put these temperatures in order (coldest number first).
-5° -3° 2° -4° -1°
Answer
When we think of the number line -5 is the coldest temperature on the number line.
(every number moving from the left of 0 is getting colder!)
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
-5 °C is the coldest temperature and 2 °C is the hottest temperature.
The correct order is:
-5° -4° -3° -1° 2°
