'My New Class' KS1 and KS2 Ordering Numbers Activity

Aimed at Years 1 to 6, this KS1 and KS2 Ordering Numbers Activity is designed to exercise ordering and reasoning skills. It is made up of several tasks from the perspective of a teacher who has finally received their class list for the following September. Children must first alphabetise the class list, then order the birthdays throughout the year from January to December. Next, children must order all students in the class according to height and arrange them in three rows for their class photo. Finally, children will need to complete a seating arrangement for their class using logic and reasoning skills.
