Cardinal or Ordinal

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is titled “Writing Numbers” and provides an exercise on cardinal and ordinal numbers. It features a table with two columns labeled “Cardinal” and “Ordinal,” with the numbers 1 through 10 listed down the cardinal column. Students are tasked with writing the corresponding word form for each cardinal number in the adjacent ordinal column. The design includes a pencil graphic, emphasizing the writing aspect of the task.

The purpose of the worksheet is to help students differentiate between cardinal numbers, which denote quantity, and ordinal numbers, which indicate position in a sequence. By completing the table, students will practice converting cardinal numbers into their ordinal equivalents in written form, reinforcing their understanding of both concepts. This task aids in developing mathematical communication skills, as well as improving spelling and handwriting. Mastery of this distinction is important for various mathematical concepts and real-world applications, such as organizing items or events in order.
