Find the order

Key Notes :

🔢 What Does “Find the Order” Mean?

It means arranging numbers from smallest to largest or largest to smallest.

• 📈 Ascending Order → Small → Big
• 📉 Descending Order → Big → Small

---

📈 Ascending Order (Small ➝ Big)

• Start with the smallest number.
• Every next number should be bigger.
• Example:
  23, 45, 78, 90 ✨

👉 Think of a stairs going up 🪜⬆️

---

📉 Descending Order (Big ➝ Small)

• Start with the largest number.
• Every next number should be smaller.
• Example:
  90, 78, 45, 23 ✨

👉 Think of a stairs going down 🪜⬇️

---

🔍 Compare Before You Order

Look at numbers from:

👉 Left to Right

👉 Compare digits

• Hundreds 🔢
• Tens 🔟
• Ones 1️⃣

Example:

• 345 vs 312 → Compare hundreds → 3 = 3
• Then compare tens → 4 > 1 → So 345 is bigger

🧠 Use Place Value to Help

Place Value is very important!

A number with more digits is usually bigger.

Example:

• 234 (3-digit) > 99 (2-digit)

🌟 Tip: Longer number → Larger value (most of the time!)

---

🎯 Ordering Mixed Numbers

If numbers have different digits like:
56, 7, 123, 89
👉 First arrange by number of digits, then compare.
Order: 7, 56, 89, 123
