Ordinal Numbers - PowerPoint
Maths Resource Description
In a series of educational resources aimed at Year 1 students, the concept of ordinal numbers is introduced and explored. The materials are designed to teach children about the terms used to denote positions in a sequence, such as first, second, third, and so on. These ordinal numbers are commonly used to describe the order of objects or people, for instance, the ranking of participants in a race. The teaching resources provide a clear explanation of ordinal numbers, using relatable examples to help children understand and apply the concept in various contexts.
The teaching resources include interactive activities and worksheets that encourage students to identify and use ordinal numbers. For example, children might be asked to determine the position of different animals in a line, ranging from the first to the tenth place. Additionally, worksheets are available where students can practice by colouring shapes or stripes on a rainbow according to their ordinal position, reinforcing their understanding of the sequence. These hands-on activities not only make learning about ordinal numbers engaging but also help to solidify the knowledge through practical application. The resources include answers for the worksheets, enabling both self-assessment and guided review of the material covered.
