Ordinal Numbers

Dear all,

Chapter: Ordinal numbers need to be revised too as well. My apologies. I will return the worksheets on Monday for revision.

Please refer to your text-book if you need to revise this chapter.

For this chapter, these are the things they have learnt.

1st to 10th
Please learn the spelling too.

First = 1st
Second = 2nd
Third = 3rd
Fourth = 4th
Fifth = 5th
Sixth = 6th
Seventh = 7th
Eighth = 8th
Ninth = 9th
Tenth = 10th

This also include counting from the left, and from the right. Please revise these words with your children. I will also be testing them for Spelling next week. 


Other words: who is to win the race?
Who is in front of the queue -- meaning, the first in line
Who is the last? -- the furthest, away from the first.

Hypothetical Questions: If something is taken away, how is the placing being changed? 
Strategy: cross out or cover up the one being taken away, then count the placing of the item.

Based on the previous unit review, the trend will be to have questions which are tougher and higher order.
However, the strategy remains: underline the key words, put down the placing (1st, 2nd, etc), then comprehend the question, and finally solving it. :)

Hope this posts helps.

Do note the key Mathematics Language which they have learnt for these 2 terms, please refer to this post


Thanks, 
Mdm Chan
