Ordinal Number Posters

maths poster - ordinal numbersHere's a set of 20 posters to help children to identify the first ten ordinal numbers.

The download includes two sets of 10 (A5) posters: one showing number ordinals (1st, 2nd, 3rd...); and the other set displaying written ordinals (first, second, third...).

Each poster features 10 mathstick characters, 9 of which are in black and white, and the one corresponding to the ordinal position is in colour.  [The small images here do not make that as clear as I would have liked].

The colour distinction helps children to associate the 'position' with the ordinal.

As well as being used as classroom display, the posters can also be used in one-to-one teaching sessions:

  • encourage the children to count the mathstick figures using ordinals. They are to whisper each ordinal until they come to the one the poster indicates, this they may call out loudly.

Great idea, but would it be

Great idea, but would it be possible to make the highlighted person stand out even more?  Having them enlarged, or wearing a hat, would make them even easier to identify but would not give them an importance that would distract from their ordinal position, if you follow me. Thanks for considering, Greg Potter.
