Ordering numbers worksheets

Once children can compare two numbers, the next step is lining up several at once. These free printable worksheets give a small set of numbers up to twenty and ask a child to write them in order from least to greatest.

Ordering numbers worksheet — Numbers to 20, free printable with answer key

The answer key prints on a separate page.

What's on this sheet

Each question shows a handful of numbers out of order, and the child rewrites them smallest to largest. The set stays close enough together that a child has to compare carefully rather than spot one obvious winner, and every number stays at twenty or below so the row is short enough to sort by hand.

Why this sheet works

Ordering is a young skill, so each page stays short — a handful of rows is enough focused practice for an early learner.
