Example
Example: two pages of “put in order” for a pre-K class, as outlines
Worksheets Put in order, Pictures Outlines to colour, Pages 2, Add the answers on, worksheet number 1, US Letter. Each row shows one picture three times, each size about one and a half times the next, with a box under each.
- Children write 1 under the smallest, 2 under the middle one and 3 under the biggest.
- The three never stand already in order: each row takes one of four mixed orders, and no two rows running share one.
- The PDF has 4 pages: the two sheets, then their answers in red, in the same order.
| Row | Page 1 | Answer | Page 2 | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | cat | 2 · 1 · 3 | house | 2 · 3 · 1 |
| 2 | mushroom | 1 · 3 · 2 | bird | 1 · 3 · 2 |
| 3 | apple | 2 · 3 · 1 | flower | 2 · 3 · 1 |
| 4 | fish | 1 · 3 · 2 | mouse | 3 · 1 · 2 |
| 5 | snail | 3 · 1 · 2 | bone | 2 · 3 · 1 |
big-and-small.pdf: 10 rows to number, read left to right, and two answer pages to keep. Children colour the outlines when they are done.
How it works

- Pick colour or outlines and how many pages.
- Print; the answer pages come after all the sheets, in the same order.
Frequently asked questions
- Which age is it for?
- Big and small is one of the first maths ideas — from about three; ordering three sizes suits four- and five-year-olds.
- Are the sizes easy to tell apart?
- Yes — every step is clearly bigger, and the pictures stand on the same line so they can be compared fairly.
- Can I use it with words?
- Say big, bigger, biggest and small, smaller, smallest while children work — the sheet gives the language a picture.
- Are the answers included?
- Yes. With “Add the answers” on, the answer pages come after all the sheets, in the same order: choose 4 pages and the PDF has 8, pages 5–8 being the answers, with the circles, numbers and matching lines in red.
- What does each kind of sheet ask?
- Circle the biggest or the smallest: 5 rows of 3 or 4 sizes of one picture, the one to circle never in the same place as in the row above. Put in order: 5 rows of 3 to number from smallest to biggest. Match: 5 big pictures and the same 5 small, in another order, to join. A mix goes through the four in turn.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The worksheets are made in your browser.
