Least to Greatest

This printable resource provides students with a hands-on review of number order. Students cut out the cards and put numbers in order from least to greatest. Teachers can differentiate by encouraging some students to order the cards from greatest to least. Click HERE to get this PDF.

Tip: This activity can be laminated, cut and reused at a learning center for additional practice.



Blast Off

This easy game at abcya.com is a great review activity for recognizing number patterns. Students practice numerical order by putting the space rocks labeled with a number in ascending order. Students choose to count by 1s, 2s, 3s, 5s or 10s. Click HERE to visit the website.
