Order numbers
Order numbers helps children practise sorting a set of two-digit numbers from smallest to largest, or from largest to smallest. Read the short guide and look through the examples before choosing online practice or a printable worksheet.
How to solve this
- To order numbers, compare them in pairs and arrange them from smallest to largest (or largest to smallest).
- Look at the tens digit first; only compare ones if two numbers share the same tens digit.
- Check by reading your sequence aloud: each step should go up (or down) by the right amount.
