Welcome to the Ordinal Numbers Resource Center!
Ordinal numbers are an essential part of understanding order and position in everyday life and mathematics. Our Ordinal Numbers page offers worksheets, activities, and resources to help students learn and practice this important concept, including the use of number lines to visualize order.
What Are Ordinal Numbers?
Ordinal numbers indicate the position or order of items in a sequence, such as first, second, third, and so on. Unlike cardinal numbers (which tell how many), ordinal numbers help us describe where something is in a series. This foundational concept appears in various real-life contexts, from describing race positions to reading calendars and timelines.
