Ascending order
To put numbers in order, we can place them from lowest (first) to highest (last).
This is called ascending order. Think of ascending a mountain.
Look at the following numbers:
19, 8, 5, 12
The smallest number is 5
The biggest number is 19
If we put the numbers in order from smallest to biggest, it will look like this:
5, 8, 12, 19
