About this resource

Arrange seven sets of integers, including zero, from least to greatest and check the supplied answers.

Seven integer-ordering sets with a completed ascending-order reference

Curriculum reference — England: Ordering is the supplied task; arithmetic with negative numbers is not claimed. Ontario Grade6 explicitly orders integers, decimals and fractions separately or together. England KS3 explicitly orders positive and negative integers, decimals and fractions; no automatic primary label. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
