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.
