Lesson Plan

Introduction

st th
Lesson topic – Ordinal Numbers 1 through 10
 Length of Lesson – 90:00
 VA Standards of Learning

2.2 The student will:


a) identify the ordinal positions first through twentieth, using an ordered set of objects; and

th th
we will move on to numbers 11 through 20 in the next lesson.
 Global Themes – Ordinal number knowledge is necessary for students as they move on to more
complex mathematical concepts such as multistep computations.

Content Objectives

Introduction/Anticipatory Set
 Ask students to come to the floor for a story  Students sit on the floor for a story
(Where’s Harley?) and bring their math journals  Reply to teacher’s prompt
15:00 and a pencil  Listen to story
 Say: “One, two,” students reply, “eyes on you.”  Answer teacher’s questions
 Tell them we are going to read a story about  Write definition of ordinal numbers in their
ordinal numbers (don’t tell them what they are journals
yet).  Play “Get Yourself in Order” game
 Read story.
 Ask students if they can tell you what an ordinal
number is; take answers from many students
 Tell them to write the teacher’s definition in
their math journals (write the definition on the
board, modeling what the page should look like

… there should be room under the definition for


the students to write the ordinal numbers 1st –
10th at the journaling station
 Put “ordinal numbers” on math word wall for
students to reference later. In addition, place
the ordinal numbers (including written
representation) on the wall under the “ordinal
numbers” word card.
 Tell students, “now that we have a better idea
of what an ordinal number is, we’re going to
play a warm-up game (“Get Yourself in Order”)
 Divide class evenly into two teams; one red
team, one blue team
 Pass out ordinal number cards; two to each
student on each team (20 or so cards)
 Tell students the rules of the game and ask
them to stand with their teams
 Play the game.
 After playing the game twice (or more if they’re
having trouble), explain that it is time to go to
our stations to work with partners.
 Tell them where they will go and directions for
completing the stations correctly.
 The Stars will go to Station #1 to work with the
teacher.
 The Moons will go to Station #2 to the Journal
Station where they will write the ordinal
numbers (1st through 10th), the corresponding
numeral representation and draw an illustration.
Refer them to the word wall if they need help
 The Asteroids will go to Station #3 where they
will play the computer game that is already on
the screen.
 The Comets will go to Station #4 where they
will work with their partner to solve and record
the answer to various riddles.
 The Planets will go to Station #5 to play ordinal
number Bingo. There are directions with the

game, and we have played Bingo before.


 Students work in pairs at the stations for 15:00
at each station.

Closure
5:00  When time is up and students have put their  Sit on floor together
station work away, call them back to the floor  Answer teacher questions
for discussion  Participate in activity.
 Ask ten students to come to the front of the
room and line them up shoulder to shoulder
 Ask students on the floor to tell you in which
position is ‘Jack?’, ‘Jill?’, ‘John?’, etc.
 Ask those students to sit and bring the others to
the front in a line shoulder to shoulder.
 Ask which student is fourth, tenth, third, etc. to
assess students’ comprehension of the lesson.
 Continue to work on ordinal numbers in
subsequent lessons if necessary (we will then
move on to ordinal numbers 11th – 20th)

Lesson Organizer

Prior Knowledge and NEW Instructional Content

Prior Knowledge
 Cardinal number (cardinal principle): the last number counted is the total number of objects
 In kindergarten, students will have been introduced to ordinal numbers first through tenth

New Content

 Understanding the cardinal and ordinal meanings of numbers are necessary to quantify, measure,
and identify the order of objects.
 An ordinal number is a number that names the place or position of an object in a sequence or set
(e.g., first, third). Ordered position, ordinal position, and ordinality are terms that refer to the place
or position of an object in a sequence or set.
 The ordinal position is determined by where one starts in an ordered set of objects or sequence of
objects (e.g., left, right, top, bottom).
 The ordinal meaning of numbers is developed by identifying and verbalizing the place or position of
objects in a set or sequence (e.g., a student’s position in line when students are lined up
alphabetically by first name).
 Ordinal position can also be emphasized through sequencing events (e.g., months in a year or
sequencing in a story).
 Cardinality can be compared with ordinality when comparing the results of counting. There is
obvious similarity between the ordinal number words third through twentieth and the cardinal
number words three through twenty.

Vocabulary
 Ordinal number: tells the position or the order of people or things in a sequence
