Math KG : Ordering Numbers : Worksheet 3

Question 1

Susie has 12 hair clips.
Jane has 15 hair clips.
Mary has 9 hair clips.

a) Who has the greatest number of hair clips?

  first lets take numbers alone 12,15,9

Numbers 1,2,3,4... which means the number gets increasing(bigger).
that is any number which comes first is smaller.

here among 12,15,9
9 comes first in order then 12 then 15.

15 comes last , so 15 is the greatest number.

Hence Jane has greatest number of hair clips = 15 

b) Who has the smallest number of hair clips?

from a) we know that 9 is the smallest number.

Hence Mary has the smallest number of hair clips = 9

Another Method

9 is the smallest number and 15 is the greatest number.


Question 2

Put these numbers in order. Begin with the smallest.

a) 20,18,8

since they are asking to begin with smallest, we have to write the number which comes first.

among 20,18,8

8 comes first

remaining 20,18

18 comes first

now remaining 20

20 comes last

hence 8,18,20 be the order

b) 10,17,12

since they are asking to begin with smallest, we have to write the number which comes first.

among 10,17,12

10 comes first

remaining 17,12

12 comes first

now remaining 17

17 comes last

hence 10,12,17 be the order


Question 3

Put these numbers in order. Begin with the largest.

a) 6 , 10 , 16

First let we write the given numbers in counting order.

6 comes first then 10 then 16.

6 , 10 , 16

the counting order be always smaller to bigger

the last number be the biggest number 16

now 6,10 remains

here the last number be 10 which is the next biggest

and 6 remains which comes at the last

hence the order be 16 , 10 , 6

b) 15 , 13 , 19

First let we write the given numbers in counting order.

13 comes first then 15 then 19.

13 , 15 , 19

the counting order be always smaller to bigger

the last number be the biggest number 19

now 13,15 remains

here the last number be 15 which is the next biggest

and 13 remains which comes at the last

hence the order be 19 , 15 , 13


Question 4

Write a number between 

a) 9 and 15

Method 1

using number line we can easily find out the between numbers.
 10,11,12,13,14 are the numbers between 9 and 15

Method 2

to write the numbers between 9 and 15

just write the counting numbers from 9 to 15

9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ,14 , 15

here between 9 and 15 we are having numbers 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14

b) 16 and 20

just write the counting numbers from 16 to 20

16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20

here between 16 and 20 we are having numbers 17 , 18 , 19

Question 5

Look at the table shown below

a) Who has the greatest number of books?

let we consider the numbers 12,1,20,19

write these numbers in counting order

1 , 12 ,19 , 20

20 comes last. So 20 is the greatest number

now let we check who is having 20 books

 Hence MIN has the greatest number of books = 20

b) Who has the Smallest number of books?

counting order be

1 , 12 , 19 , 20

1 comes in first. so 1 is the smallest number

now let we check who is having 1 book

 Hence SMARTY has the Smallest number of books = 1
