Ordering 2-digit Numbers

The smallest number is the one that comes first while counting.

The greatest number is the one that comes last while counting.

Example: Let's order the numbers 32, 38, and 34 from smallest to greatest.

To arrange the given numbers in order from smallest to greatest, find the smallest number among all the given numbers.
 

32, 38, 34
 

32 is the smallest number.
 

Place 32 at the first position.
 

32, 38, 34
 

Now, find the smallest number among the other two numbers 38 and 34.
 

34 is smaller than 38.
 

Place 34 after 32.
 

32, 34, 38

 

The correct arrangement from smallest to greatest is 32, 34, 38.
