Place value - Order numbers and objects - Worksheet

The 'Order Objects and Numbers' worksheet is an educational resource from masterthecurriculum.co.uk, designed to enhance fluency and precision in understanding place value for numbers up to 100. The worksheet aligns with the National Curriculum objective to compare and order numbers using the inequality symbols for less than, greater than, and equal to. Students are provided with differentiated worksheets and teaching slides, along with concrete resources such as base 10 blocks, to facilitate learning. Key vocabulary terms such as 'place value', 'compare', 'greater than', 'less than', 'more than', 'fewer', 'most', 'least', 'equal', and 'inequality symbols' are highlighted to support the lesson.

Children are tasked with ordering numbers from smallest to largest or vice versa, and they are encouraged to use concrete or pictorial representations to verify their answers. The worksheet offers two options: cutting out individual numbers to stick in books or ordering them by writing numbers such as 1, 2, 3, etc., next to them. The activity progresses from ordering four numbers that are not similar to each other, to five numbers that include digits, words, and number sentences with some similarities. The reasoning and problem-solving section presents children with simple to complex problems where they identify the odd one out among sequences of numbers. This section also includes scenarios with post-it notes, where children must use their mathematical vocabulary to explain the correct order of numbers.
