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: Writing Positions
The second part provides images of various animals and asks to write their positions based on the race order.

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:
- The tiger is closest to the finish line, so it is in 1st place.
- The cat is next, so it is in 2nd place.
- The elephant is third, so it is in 3rd place.
- The pig is fourth, so it is in 4th place.
- The dog is fifth, so it is in 5th place.
- The tortoise is last, so it is in 6th place.

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

#### Part 2: Writing Positions
The second part provides images of animals and asks for their positions. We use the order from the race to determine the positions:
1. Tortoise: 6th place.
2. Dog: 5th place.
3. Pig: 4th place.
4. Elephant: 3rd place.
5. Cat: 2nd place.
6. Tiger: 1st place.

Matching the images with their positions:
- Tortoise: 6th
- Dog: 5th
- Pig: 4th
- Elephant: 3rd
- Cat: 2nd
- Tiger: 1st

The positions for the other animals (rabbit, frog, goat, seal, fox, sheep) are not part of the race and are not mentioned in the problem. Therefore, we only focus on the animals in 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:
- Tortoise: 6th
- Dog: 5th
- Pig: 4th
- Elephant: 3rd
- Cat: 2nd
- Tiger: 1st

\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}
}
