Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Alphabetizing Worksheet for 3rd - 4th Grade | Lesson Planet
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet from MyMaths, titled *"Time: Time in Words"*, and it asks students to write numbers 1 to 8 to arrange words in alphabetical order. The task is to sort the given words or phrases alphabetically and assign them the correct number (1–8) based on their position in the alphabet.

Let’s go through each section step by step and solve it.

---

Instructions:


Write the numbers 1 to 8 to arrange the words in alphabetical order.

---

1.


Words:
- garage
- park
- place
- pool
- public

Step: Sort these alphabetically:
- garage
- park
- place
- pool
- public

Alphabetical order:
1. garage
2. park
3. place
4. pool
5. public

So:
- garage → 1
- park → 2
- place → 3
- pool → 4
- public → 5

---

2.


Words:
- orange
- red
- blue
- white
- bright
- green

Sort alphabetically:
- blue
- bright
- green
- orange
- red
- white

Order:
1. blue
2. bright
3. green
4. orange
5. red
6. white

So:
- orange → 4
- red → 5
- blue → 1
- white → 6
- bright → 2
- green → 3

---

3.


Words:
- three
- seven
- four
- nine
- two
- six

Sort numerically by word form (alphabetically, not numerically):
- four
- nine
- six
- seven
- three
- two

Alphabetical order:
1. four
2. nine
3. six
4. seven
5. three
6. two

So:
- three → 5
- seven → 4
- four → 1
- nine → 2
- two → 6
- six → 3

---

4.


Words:
- train
- tram
- taxi
- bus
- coach
- car

Sort alphabetically:
- bus
- car
- coach
- taxi
- tram
- train

Wait — let's check:
- bus
- car
- coach
- taxi
- tram
- train

But “tram” comes before “train”? No — “t” is same, then “r” vs “r”, then “a” vs “a”, then “m” vs “i” — “i” comes before “m”.

So:
- taxi
- tram
- train

Correct alphabetical order:
1. bus
2. car
3. coach
4. taxi
5. tram
6. train

Wait! “tram” vs “train”: T-R-A-M vs T-R-A-I-N → "I" comes before "M", so:
- taxi → T-A-X-I
- tram → T-R-A-M
- train → T-R-A-I-N

Compare:
- taxi: t-a-x-i
- tram: t-r-a-m
- train: t-r-a-i-n

Now compare:
- “taxi” starts with 't', then 'a' → comes before 'r'
- “tram” and “train” both start with 't-r-a'

Then:
- tram: t-r-a-m
- train: t-r-a-i-n → “i” comes before “m”

So:
- taxi → 4
- train → 5
- tram → 6

Wait — let's do full list:

List: train, tram, taxi, bus, coach, car

Sorted:
1. bus
2. car
3. coach
4. taxi
5. train
6. tram

Because:
- bus < car < coach < taxi < train < tram

Yes.

So:
- train → 5
- tram → 6
- taxi → 4
- bus → 1
- coach → 3
- car → 2

---

5.


Words:
- April
- January
- May
- July
- March
- June

These are months. Sort alphabetically:

- April
- January
- June
- July
- March
- May

Alphabetical order:
1. April
2. January
3. June
4. July
5. March
6. May

So:
- April → 1
- January → 2
- May → 6
- July → 4
- March → 5
- June → 3

---

6.


Words:
- stop
- plane
- train
- tram
- fly
- boat

Sort alphabetically:
- boat
- fly
- plane
- stop
- train
- tram

Now:
- boat
- fly
- plane
- stop
- train
- tram

“train” vs “tram”: t-r-a-i-n vs t-r-a-m → i before m → train before tram

So:
1. boat
2. fly
3. plane
4. stop
5. train
6. tram

So:
- stop → 4
- plane → 3
- train → 5
- tram → 6
- fly → 2
- boat → 1

---

7.


Words:
- Meat Tea
- Milk Tea
- Fruit Tea
- Lemon Tea
- Green Tea
- Black Tea

These are all “X Tea”. We sort by the first word.

So:
- Black Tea
- Fruit Tea
- Green Tea
- Lemon Tea
- Meat Tea
- Milk Tea

Alphabetical order of first words:
- Black
- Fruit
- Green
- Lemon
- Meat
- Milk

So:
1. Black Tea
2. Fruit Tea
3. Green Tea
4. Lemon Tea
5. Meat Tea
6. Milk Tea

So:
- Meat Tea → 5
- Milk Tea → 6
- Fruit Tea → 2
- Lemon Tea → 4
- Green Tea → 3
- Black Tea → 1

---

8.


Words:
- _planets
- _Christmas
- _moon
- _sun
- _earth
- _stars

All have underscores, but we assume they are meant to be:
- planets
- Christmas
- moon
- sun
- earth
- stars

Sort alphabetically:
- Christmas
- earth
- moon
- planets
- stars
- sun

Alphabetical order:
1. Christmas
2. earth
3. moon
4. planets
5. stars
6. sun

So:
- planets → 4
- Christmas → 1
- moon → 3
- sun → 6
- earth → 2
- stars → 5
