Ordinal numbers
Once their knowledge of cardinal numbers has been consolidated, introduce students to ordinal numbers as a way of describing what they had for lunch on each day of the school week.
For example:
| I te rā tuatahi, he hanawiti. | On the first day, a sandwich. |
| I te rā tuarua, he parehe. | On the second day, some pizza. |
| I te rā tuatoru, he āporo. | On the third day, an apple. |
| I te rā tuawhā, he panana. | On the fourth day, a banana. |
| I te rā tuarima, he hupa. | On the fifth day, some soup. |
