Line up a few toys and ask a seven-year-old which one is third. Many will count “one, two, three” and point correctly, then say “three” instead of “third”. This 2nd grade ordinal numbers worksheet works on the word itself. A note at the top explains that ordinal numbers tell the exact position of an object. In part 1, your child labels five shapes first to fifth, from left to right: a triangle, a rectangle, a square, a circle and a hexagon. In part 2, eight animals, from a cow to a dog, are lettered a to h, and your child draws a line from each one to its place in a column from 1st to 8th. A second page gives the answer key.
