Ordinal Number Activities

Math Pack 14 has been added to my TpT store. Math Packs include 5 printable, original and engaging activities that are sequenced to support a week of targeted learning.


This edition will complement a unit of work on using ordinal numbers to refer to the position of items. There is a focus on position of numbers, rather than quantity.

Some tips for teaching ordinals:
  • make sure students can use the language of ordinal numbers before learning the symbols
  • an ordinal number refers to one object in a  position, not to a quantity - as regular counting - so make this explicit
  • let the children have plenty of 'acting out' and race type play where they can experience the positioning of objects


Using the activities in my math pack, students will gain practice in sequencing events/pictures, identifying ordinal number names, identifying ordinal number symbols, matching ordinal number names and symbols and labelling ordinal numbers.


Each of the 5 small-group activities has:
  • detailed instructions
  • playing cards/boards/templates
  • a worksheet (either a recording worksheet or a fun-follow-up)
  • a cover page to help you organize your resources for future reference

The activities included in this bundle are:

 

Lining Up
Students will match ordinal names to a sequence of events.


Race Time
Students will match ordinal number names to their ordinal symbols.


On the Bus
Students will match ordinal number names to their ordinal symbols and words.


Kids Bingo
Students will match ordinal number names to their ordinal symbols and words.


Order-pillar
Students will order ordinal symbols without visual reference.



These activities can be used in a structured game rotation program, as math centers or in guided math. Once taught, they also make fantastic 'fast-finisher' activities for revision of key concepts.



You can find this pack as an individual listing in my TpT store 

or included in a big growing bundle!

Thanks so much for stopping by - have a fantastic day.
