Identifying Ordinal Numbers
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Mathematics Alternative Delivery Mode
(ADM) Module on Identifying Ordinal Numbers!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and
reviewed by educators both from public and private institutions to
assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the learners meet
the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their
personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

 What’s New

Before we discuss about ordinal numbers in this module, it is

important to understand the following terms used in the course of
the lesson.
 Numeral - relating to numbers
 Ordinal - relating to an order
 Superscript - letters written immediately at the right of the
character. It is set slightly above the normal line of text. It is
usually smaller than the text it was attached. In the symbol
1st, the letters st are written as superscript.
 Point of reference – the point or object in which the order of
counting starts

To introduce to you what these Ordinal Numbers be like, we

can easily cite examples like the alphabet where letters are being
arranged in a specific order.
Here is a chart of Filipino alphabet from the first to the last
letter.
How many letters does the Filipino alphabet have? _______

A B C D E F G
H I J K L M N
Ñ NG O P Q R S
T U V W X Y Z

The alphabet is composed of letters in a fixed order. Notice

that the arrangement of letters indicates the position or order of
one letter in relation to the other letters.

 What is It

Ordinal numbers are numbers that indicate the position or

order of an object or number in relation to a point of reference.
When objects are placed in order, we use ordinal numbers to
tell their position.
In writing ordinal numbers and its symbol, study the table
below:

Notice that in writing ordinal numbers in symbol we used a

number combined with letters (st, nd, rd and th) as superscripts.
In writing the symbol of an ordinal number, apply the
following rule:
 For numbers ending in 1, connect with the letters st as
superscripts
 For numbers ending in 2, connect with the letters nd as
superscripts
 For numbers ending in 3, connect with the letters rd as
superscripts
 Use th as superscripts for numerals ending with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
and 0.

 What I Have Learned

1. Ordinal numbers are numbers that indicate the position or order

of an object or number in relation to a point of reference.
2. To write ordinal numbers in symbol, use superscript letters:

 rd for numerals with the number ending in 3 (3rd, third)
 th for numerals with the number ending in 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0
