Ordinal Numbers Worksheet | Grade1to6.com - Free Printable

Problem Analysis

The worksheet is about ordinal numbers, which are used to indicate the position of something in a sequence (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). The task involves identifying the positions of animals in a race and matching them with their corresponding ordinal numbers.

#### Part 1: Animal Race
The first part of the worksheet shows a race with six animals:
1. A tortoise.
2. A dog.
3. A pig.
4. An elephant.
5. A cat.
6. A tiger.

The task is to identify which animal is coming in each position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).

#### Part 2: Write the Position of the Animals
The second part provides images of seven animals and asks you to write their positions based on the race order. The animals are:
1. Rabbit.
2. Frog.
3. Goat.
4. Elephant.
5. Seal.
6. Fox.
7. Sheep.
8. Cat.

Solution

#### Part 1: Animal Race
From the image of the race, we can determine the order of the animals as they approach the finish line:
- 1st: Tiger (closest to the finish line).
- 2nd: Cat.
- 3rd: Elephant.
- 4th: Pig.
- 5th: Dog.
- 6th: Tortoise (farthest from the finish line).

So, the answers are:
- a. 1st? Tiger
- b. 2nd? Cat
- c. 3rd? Elephant
- d. 4th? Pig
- e. 5th? Dog
- f. 6th? Tortoise

#### Part 2: Write the Position of the Animals
We need to match the animals in the race with the images provided and write their positions. From Part 1, we know the order of the animals in the race:
1. Tiger
2. Cat
3. Elephant
4. Pig
5. Dog
6. Tortoise

Now, let's identify the animals in the images and write their positions:
1. Rabbit: Not in the race, so no position.
2. Frog: Not in the race, so no position.
3. Goat: Not in the race, so no position.
4. Elephant: 3rd.
5. Seal: Not in the race, so no position.
6. Fox: Not in the race, so no position.
7. Sheep: Not in the race, so no position.
8. Cat: 2nd.

For the animals that are in the race:
- Tiger: 1st.
- Cat: 2nd.
- Elephant: 3rd.
- Pig: 4th.
- Dog: 5th.
- Tortoise: 6th.

Since the images do not include all the animals in the race, we can only fill in the positions for the animals that are present in the images:
- Cat: 2nd.
- Elephant: 3rd.
- Pig: 4th.

For the other animals in the images (Rabbit, Frog, Goat, Seal, Fox, Sheep), we leave their positions blank since they are not part of the race.

Final Answer

#### Part 1:
- a. 1st? Tiger
- b. 2nd? Cat
- c. 3rd? Elephant
- d. 4th? Pig
- e. 5th? Dog
- f. 6th? Tortoise

#### Part 2:
- Rabbit: ______
- Frog: ______
- Goat: ______
- Elephant: 3rd
- Seal: ______
- Fox: ______
- Sheep: ______
- Cat: 2nd
- Pig: 4th

\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
\text{a. 1st?} & \text{Tiger} \\
\text{b. 2nd?} & \text{Cat} \\
\text{c. 3rd?} & \text{Elephant} \\
\text{d. 4th?} & \text{Pig} \\
\text{e. 5th?} & \text{Dog} \\
\text{f. 6th?} & \text{Tortoise} \\
\end{array}
