Quick Tip
Ordinal numbers tell us the position or order of something — first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd), and so on.
Teacher Resources
Teaching Notes

Line students up and ask them to identify who is first, second, third. Change the start of the line to show that ordinal position depends on direction.

Vocabulary
Ordinal number: A number that shows the position or order of something in a list (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
Common Mistakes
  • Writing "3th" instead of "3rd" or "4st" instead of "4th"
  • Confusing "second" (ordinal) with "second" (time unit)
Parent Tip

Ask your child what position they stand in at school lunch or in a race.
