Bugging Me

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a fun and colorful activity designed for students to practice identifying ordinal numbers. It features an array of ten different cartoon bugs lined up in a row, each bug unique in design to keep the activity engaging. Students are directed to observe the order of the bugs and write the ordinal numbers from one through ten next to the correct bug, indicating their position in the lineup. The worksheet provides blank lines next to each bug where students can write the appropriate ordinal number.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students how to recognize and assign ordinal numbers to objects in a sequence. It helps them to differentiate between the cardinal numbers, which count things, and ordinal numbers, which place things in order. This activity encourages attention to detail and careful observation as students must determine the position of each bug to correctly label it with its ordinal number. Through this exercise, students learn the sequence of ordinal numbers and their practical use in everyday life to describe order.
