Learning ascending and descending order is one of the most important math concepts for young learners in Class 1 CBSE. This topic helps children compare numbers and arrange them correctly, which builds a strong base for solving higher-level math problems in the future. In this descending order worksheet for Class 1, students will practice arranging numbers from the biggest to the smallest. The worksheet covers simple exercises, fun activities, and step-by-step practice questions with answers to make the concept easy to understand. By working on this, children will gain confidence in number sequencing, counting skills, and problem-solving abilities.
Descending order is a process whereby the numbers are placed in descending order. This can be interpreted as one beginning with the biggest number and then decreasing consecutively to the smallest number by the students.
For example:
In the case of numbers, 25, 12, 40, 8, we will have them in descending order as:
40, 25, 12, 8.
Therefore, descending order is similar to travelling down a staircase you begin with the largest number and go down to the smallest number.
