Ascending Order

When we arrange a set of numbers from the smallest to the largest, we are putting them in ascending order. This is a fundamental concept in mathematics and helps us compare and analyze numbers more easily.

Example:

Consider the set of numbers: 5, 2, 7, 1, 9

When arranged in ascending order, the numbers would be: 1, 2, 5, 7, 9

Study Guide:

Here are the steps to arrange numbers in ascending order:

1. Identify the set of numbers you want to arrange.
2. Compare the numbers to identify the smallest one.
3. Write down the smallest number.
4. Remove the smallest number from the set.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining numbers until all numbers are listed in ascending order.

Practice Exercise:

Arrange the following set of numbers in ascending order: 12, 6, 23, 8, 17, 3

Answer: 3, 6, 8, 12, 17, 23

Now you can use this study guide to effectively arrange numbers in ascending order. Keep practicing to solidify your understanding of this important concept!
