G7 Math Q1 - Week 8-Decreasing and Increasing of Numbers

Here are the key steps to get descending and ascending order: Descending order: 1. Identify the largest number. 2. Arrange numbers from largest to smallest. 3. End with the smallest number. For example, to put the numbers 469, 541, 931, 518 in descending order: 1) 931 is the largest as it has the largest hundreds digit 2) 541 is next largest as it has a larger tens digit than 518 3) 469 is the smallest So the descending order is: 931, 541, 518, 469 Ascending order: 1. Identify the smallest number. 2. Arrange numbers from smallest to largest

Ordering of numbers

ASCENDING ORDERS / INCREASING ORDERS ASCENDING ORDER


MEANS TO ARRANGE NUMBERS IN INCREASING ORDER, THAT IS,
FROM SMALLEST TO LARGEST.
Arranging numbers in ascending order:

 Count the number of digits in each number. The number with the least
number of digits is the smallest. Write it first. Continue this till all the
numbers left for comparison have the same number of digits.

 For the numbers having the same number of digits, start with comparing
the numbers from the leftmost digit. Write the number with the smallest
digit.

 If the leftmost digits are same, move to the digits to the right and compare
them. Write the number with smaller digit.

 Continue doing this with the remaining numbers till we arrange all the
numbers.
Example: Arrange 22554, 231, 22, 245, 22354 in ascending order.

 The number 22 has the least number of digits. So, write it first as it is the smallest
number.

 Next, 231 and 245 both are 3-digit numbers. They both have 2 at hundreds place.
So, we move to the digit to the right. Compare 231 and 245 Since, 3 < 4; So,
231 < 245

 Next, compare 22554 and 22354 as both have 5 digits. On


comparing, 22554 and 22354, we find 3 < 5
 So, 22354 < 22554

 We can then also arrange the numbers on the number
line as shown:

 Fun Facts
 Toremember ascending order, remember the flight of
an “airplane”, from low to high.
Descending Orders / Decreasing Orders

 Arranging the numbers from greatest to the smallest is known as decreasing


order or descending order.
 Descending can also be thought of as climbing down the stairs of numbers
starting from the highest value
 Rules of Descending Order
 Writing numbers in descending order do not
always involve subtracting 1 from the larger
numbers; rather, descending order can be done
in the following manner:
 Always start with the largest number
 Always ensure that the numbers are in order
from largest to smallest
 Always end with the smallest number
 Example
 Put the numbers in descending order.
 469 541 931 518
 Answer
 Look at the hundreds place first.
 931 is the biggest because it has the largest hundreds digit.
 Next we compare 541 and 518.
 They both have a 5 in the hundreds place, so we look at
the tens place and see that 541 is larger than 518.
 469 is the smallest because 469 has the smallest hundreds
digit.
In descending order the
numbers go:
1 .2 .3 .4
931 541 518 469
7.3 4.8 -4.5
-2.7
Formation of Greatest and Smallest Numbers

 In formation of greatest and smallest numbers we know the


procedure of arranging the numbers in ascending and
descending order.
Greatest Number
 In order to make greatest number from the given numbers,
arrange the digits in descending order. In case there are two
equal digits, write them at consecutive places.
 For example: greatest 4 digit number using the digits 7, 7, 0,
and 8
 Descending order of the given digits is 8, 7, 7, 0
 So, greatest 4 digit number with the given digits is 87,70
Smallest Number

 In order to make smallest number from given numbers we


will first arrange the digits in ascending order. We will start
with digit other than 0 and write the 0 in second place. In
case two digits are equal, write them at consecutive places.
 For example: smallest 4 digit number using digits 9, 0, 6, 1
 Ascending order of the given digits is 1, 0, 6, 9
 So, smallest 4 digit number with the given digits is 10,69
Exercises: Locate and plot the following
on a number line (use only one number
line).
1. 2.5
2. -4.3
3. 1.8
4. 3.7
5. 5.6
6. -3.06
7. 2.5
8. 3.9
9. -4.06
10. -5.09
Explain how to get
descending order and
ascending order?
