Ordering Numbers Activities

Tuesday, I worked with a teacher. She had a small group of students who had some problems with putting numbers in order. Numbers have an order or arrangement. The number two is between one and three. Three or more numbers can be placed in order. A number may come before the other numbers or it may come between them or after them. The order may be ascending (getting larger in value) or descending (becoming smaller in value). To help solve this problem, the teacher used FlinkMake to create an interactive worksheet on the computer. It took only minutes to enter fifty problems.


The worksheet is fun and engaging, with characters the children can appreciate. Each screen has many numbers the children have to put in the correct order. Children find the next number in the sequence and drag it to the correct box. They continue dragging numbers until all the numbers are in the correct order. They can play over and over again since each time they play the numbers are scrambled. The teacher can make tens of problems in minutes, providing the children with a limitless number of ordering numbers problems.
