Absolutely! Let’s solve each part of
Task 1: Ordering Numbers step by step, with clear explanations.

🔢 Question 1: Put these numbers in order from smallest to largest.
Numbers:
52, 81, 74, 99, 16, 61
✔ Step-by-step:
We need to find the
smallest number first, then the next smallest, and so on until the
largest.
- Look at all the numbers:
52, 81, 74, 99, 16, 61
- The
smallest is
16 (because 16 < 52, 61, 74, 81, 99)
- Next smallest: compare remaining — 52, 61, 74, 81, 99 →
52 is smallest now
- Then: 61, 74, 81, 99 →
61
- Then: 74, 81, 99 →
74
- Then: 81, 99 →
81
- Finally:
99
✔ Answer (Smallest to Largest):
16, 52, 61, 74, 81, 99

🔢 Question 2: Order these numbers from largest to smallest.
Numbers:
36, 25, 91, 41, 31, 72
✔ Step-by-step:
Now we go
largest to smallest.
- Numbers: 36, 25, 91, 41, 31, 72
-
Largest is
91
- Next largest: 72, 41, 36, 31, 25 →
72
- Then: 41, 36, 31, 25 →
41
- Then: 36, 31, 25 →
36
- Then: 31, 25 →
31
- Finally:
25
✔ Answer (Largest to Smallest):
91, 72, 41, 36, 31, 25

🔢 Question 3: Order these numbers from smallest to largest. Watch out! One has 1-digit and 2-digit numbers!
Numbers:
55, 29, 7, 83, 9, 27
✔ Important Note:
You have both
1-digit (7, 9) and
2-digit numbers (55, 29, 83, 27).
Remember: 1-digit numbers are always smaller than 2-digit numbers (since 1-digit max is 9, and 2-digit starts at 10).
✔ Step-by-step:
First, separate them:
- 1-digit:
7, 9
- 2-digit:
55, 29, 83, 27
Order the 1-digit numbers:
→
7 (smallest), then
9
Order the 2-digit numbers (smallest to largest):
Compare tens digit first:
- 27, 29 → both start with 2 → compare units: 27 < 29
- Then 55
- Then 83
So 2-digit order:
27, 29, 55, 83
Now combine: 1-digit first, then 2-digit:
✔ Final Answer (Smallest to Largest):
7, 9, 27, 29, 55, 83

##
✔ Final Answers Summary:
1. Smallest to Largest:
16, 52, 61, 74, 81, 99
2. Largest to Smallest:
91, 72, 41, 36, 31, 25
3. Smallest to Largest (mixed digits):
7, 9, 27, 29, 55, 83

Top Tip Reminder (from image):
> *“Cross out the numbers as you use them.”*
This helps avoid mistakes — once you pick a number, cross it off your list so you don’t reuse it!
Let me know if you’d like to practice more or need visual aids! 😊
