pre-Entry N1/M8.9 Use ordinal numbers, from 'first' to 'fifth'

Pre-Entry Numeracy > Whole numbers > N1/M8.9 
Use ordinal numbers, from first to fifth, when describing the position of (a) objects (b) people (c) events

During practical activities, highlight for learners how ordinal numbers can be used to state the position of people in a queue, objects that are lined up, pages in a document, taxis in a rank, sessions in a day, who will go first in an activity, etc.

A Simple and straightforward 16 piece jigsaw that makes a great group activity. Cardinal and ordinal numbers are matched with number words to form a triangle. This puzzle constructs sequentially, i.e. the word ‘one’ is at the triangle’s apex, matching with 1, then two, underneath it and so on up to 10 in cardinals and 8th in ordinals (this makes it a lot easier for preEntry learners to see how the triangle is constructed).

A fabulous set of resources adapted from the Entry 1 Skills for Life materials at https://www.excellencegateway.org.uk/about/ Covers most N1 Milestone 8 curriculum elements. Created so that E1 and M8 students in a mixed ability class had similar materials to work from.
Judy stresses that this resource should not be used in isolation but alongside lots and lots of practical activities.
