Ordinal numbers are slightly more challenging for students so for more practice consider using one or more of the 56 ordinal numbers worksheets on this page. It is important to relate ordinal numbers to their cardinal counterparts especially when the connection is not obvious for example one and first. Here is a jumbled words activity where students practice spelling ordinal numbers and matching the words with the numbers. The worksheet is cute and would be good for groups of young students; for high school or adult students, you may want to choose a different design or a different worksheet altogether. If you successfully used an activity to teach students cardinal numbers, you may decide to use the same one to practice ordinal numbers too. For more teaching ideas, take a moment to read the article How to Teach Ordinal Numbers and if you have time, upload any worksheets you have on this topic to this page so that other busy teachers can learn from you.
