🔢 Topic Summary
Ordering numbers from least to greatest means putting them in order from the smallest number to the largest number. Think of it like climbing stairs - you start on the lowest step and go up to the highest! When we're working with the numbers 1 through 10, we look for the smallest number first (which is 1), then the next smallest (2), and so on, until we reach the biggest number (10).
This is a really important skill because it helps us compare different amounts and understand how numbers work together. Get ready to practice and become a number ordering expert!
