Year 1 Numbers - Order of Numbers

Put numbers in the right order. Compare, spot the smallest and largest, and line them up from first to last using simple steps and helpful clues.

Fascinating Fact:

Numbers love queues. Smallest goes first like the shortest penguin in line.

In KS1 Maths, you learn to arrange numbers from smallest to largest and back again. You compare values, look for place-value clues, and use symbols like <, >, and = to decide order.

Key Terms

  • Ascending order: Numbers going up from smallest to largest, for example 3, 7, 12.
  • Descending order: Numbers going down from largest to smallest, for example 12, 7, 3.
  • Compare: To decide which is smaller or larger using symbols like <, >, and =.

Practise ordering and comparing in the Numeracy Game before you try the quiz.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What does ascending order mean in Year 1 maths?

Ascending order means the numbers increase. Start with the smallest number and list them so each next number is bigger, like 2, 5, 8, 11.

How do I find the smallest number quickly?

Compare the tens first, then the ones. Fewer tens means smaller. If tens match, the number with fewer ones is smaller.

What is the difference between < and > in maths?

< means “is less than” and > means “is greater than.” For example, 6 < 9 and 12 > 7.
