Description

Number Factory: Ordering 2 Digit Numbers POWERPOINT is a fast-paced and engaging way for students to build their number sense as they sort and sequence 2-digit numbers. With a fun, factory-themed setting, this interactive PowerPoint strengthens students’ ability to compare, order, and reason with numbers to 100 using place value understanding.


This digital activity features an animated machine that generates a new set of numbers for each task. Students are prompted to sort these numbers in either ascending or descending order by clicking them in the correct sequence. With built-in feedback for correct and incorrect answers, students are guided through the activity step by step - making it ideal for independent or whole-class use.


Perfect for reinforcing skills in a fun way, this PowerPoint works brilliantly as a warm-up activity, part of a number unit, or even during fast finisher time. Its game-like structure will keep students engaged while they practise this core mathematical skill.
