It was a very hot day. Anna’s Mum did not want to get out in the sun. But she

went to the farm. Anna was alone in the house. She slept for one more hour
then she got up. Her mum was still not yet back from the market. She sat in
front of her house to wait for her mum. Every body had gone. Some to work,
some to the farm and some to the market. There was no kid to play with

Understanding numbers.
1) To understand numbers in greater than and less than, you must
understand the quantitative value of numbers e.g 4 is greater than 2
because 4 has more quantity of stars. 2 is less because 2 has a
lesser quantity of stars. 4
2
2) You need to understand the progression of sequential counting. E.g
0 1 2 3 4 5…
Exercise 1: by counting from 22 to 40, rearrange these numbers from
smallest to biggest. The small numbers come first. So you count 22 23
24…
B) Circle the greatest number in each box.

Exercise 3: Rearrange the numbers below from smallest to greatest, by counting in your head
sequentially.

25 35 29 21 26 39 26 19 33
Understanding numbers
1) As already mentioned, 2 is smaller than 4 because 2 has a smaller
number of stars than 4.
2) Also, any number that comes before a said number is smaller than
the number. E.g. numbers less than or smaller than 17. All the 4
numbers that come before 17 are numbers smaller than 17. Write 2
them in the brackets.

12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 (__ __ __ __ __)
In the same way, any number that comes before another number is
smaller than the number. 22 is smaller than 24 because 22 comes
before 24 when you count. 26 is smaller than 36 because 26 comes
before 36 when you count.

Exercise 1: By counting sequentially from 16 to 40, circle the smallest


number in each box below. You have to count each time from 16 to
the greatest number in each box, to get the smallest number. The
smallest number is the number that comes first when you count.
