How it works
Each row shows a set of four numbers that are not in order, an arrow, and four empty boxes. The child compares the numbers and writes them again in the boxes, starting with the smallest and ending with the largest. Every number is used once.
How this differs from missing and before and after numbers
Missing numbers and before and after numbers are about a number's neighbours: the number just before or just after it. This sheet is different. It gives a handful of numbers that are not in order and are not next to each other, and asks the child to compare them and line them up from smallest to largest. That is a bigger step: instead of one number's neighbours, the child weighs several numbers against each other.
Where it fits
Do missing numbers and before and after numbers first, since reading and recalling a single number's neighbours comes before comparing a whole set. The printable hundreds chart is the reference a child can check when they get stuck, and count and color builds the numeral recognition this sheet assumes. The kindergarten and grade 1 pages gather the resources for this age, and when written arithmetic is the right level you can make a worksheet in seconds.
