ordinal_numbers

To teach ordinal numbers, I provided 10 students with cards that had the numbers one through 10 on them. On one side was the actual number (1, 2, 3, etc.) and on the other side was the written ordianl number (primero, segundo, tercero, etc.) I asked the students to hold the numbers in front of them and order themselves appropriately. Once they were in the front of the room I said "Ahmad es primero, Lena es segunda, Marvin es tercero...etc.) Then I asked the students to mix themselves up out of order and turn their cards over so it showed the written ordinal number. Then I asked the students not standing to put the students with numbers in the correct order based on the written ordinal numbers. I switched students around a few times so that I could tell they were remembering the ordinal number and not just the person. user:SarahPcat
