Ascending Order
In mathematics, a set of numbers or objects is said to be in ascending order if they are arranged from the smallest to the largest.
For example, if we have the numbers 3, 1, 5, and 2, we can arrange them in ascending order as 1, 2, 3, 5.
To arrange a set of numbers in ascending order, you can use the following steps:
- Compare the first two numbers. If the first number is smaller than the second number, leave them as they are. If the first number is larger, swap the positions of the two numbers.
- Move to the next pair of numbers and repeat the comparison and swapping if necessary.
- Continue this process until all numbers are arranged in ascending order.
Ascending order is commonly used when ordering numbers, arranging items by size or value, and solving problems in mathematics and other fields.
Understanding ascending order is important for young learners as it helps them develop their number sense and logical thinking skills.

The resources above cover the following skills:
Counting and Cardinality
Know number names and the count sequence.
Count to 100 by ones and by tens. [K-CC1]
Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1). [K-CC2]
Count to tell the number of objects.
Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. [K-CC4]
When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. [K-CC4a]
Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. [K-CC4b]
Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger. [K-CC4c]
Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects. [K-CC5]
Compare numbers.
Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. [K-CC7]
