Reinforce place value skills with this Year 1 comparing and ordering numbers to 20 revision mat. These quick, child-friendly maths worksheets are ideal for retrieval practice, early finishers, morning work or end-of-unit revision. Pupils practise comparing numbers within 20 using the symbols >, < and =, finding the biggest and smallest numbers, and ordering numbers using a number line to 20.
Across the mats, pupils compare representations of numbers using tens and ones models and ten frames, then add the correct comparison symbol. They also circle the biggest number from a group, including numbers shown as number words such as eleven and fifteen. Pupils order numbers from smallest to greatest and greatest to smallest, using a number line to support accuracy. The mats also include comparing groups of objects and choosing the smallest or biggest set, helping pupils connect quantity to number.
