Inside This Ordinal Numbers PowerPoint

The presentation begins by explaining what ordinal numbers are used for and provides examples. Students learn that ordinal numbers are used to show position in order, floors of buildings, school grades, and dates. Since dates are the situation students are most likely to encounter, the slideshow then teaches ordinal numbers from 1st to 31st.

Ways to Extend This PowerPoint Lesson

• Class line-up activity – Demonstrate ordinal numbers with the students themselves. Have them line up according to height, then ask questions such as “Who is the 5th tallest person in the class?” or “Who is the 10th?” This makes the concept visual and interactive.
• Make dates part of your daily routine – Because ordinal numbers are often used when talking about dates, get students into the habit of writing and saying the date together at the start of each lesson. This provides natural, repeated practice and helps students remember ordinal numbers over time.
