Ordinal Numbers

​Ordinal Numbers

Ms. Cruz asked her pupils to arrange themselves as shown in the picture.​

​

​In this picture, Kate is the First on the line. Elvie who is standing next to her is second. Ann who is next to Elvie is third.

​

The word first, second, and third are called ordinal numbers. They show position. They tell where an object is in a list or a line.

When using ordinal numbers, find out first if you are starting from the left or from the right.
