About This Skill

Learn to effectively order numbers in first grade by utilizing the number line as a visual tool. This skill involves plotting sets of two-digit numbers on a number line to clearly see their relative positions. Based on these plotted points (where left-to-right corresponds to increasing value), students can then easily arrange the numbers in the correct sequence, such as least to greatest.
