Why make your own ordinal numbers flashcards instead of printing them

Printable sheets of free ordinal numbers flashcards are easy to find, but they cover a generic list of first through tenth, not the set your class is quizzed on. A card built from your own worksheet matches your spelling conventions and the examples your teacher used.

  • Use your own worksheet or lecture slides so the cards match what you will be tested on.
  • Drill the irregular forms first: first, second, third, and the teens from eleventh to thirteenth.
  • Write each ordinal with its number on the front, such as 7th, and the spelled-out word on the back.
  • Review short sessions often, then check weak cards more frequently than the ones you already know.
Example ordinal numbers flashcards
What is the ordinal form of 3?Third (3rd). It is irregular, so it does not follow the -th pattern.
What is the ordinal form of 12?Twelfth (12th). It takes -th even though it ends in 2, like second.
What is the ordinal form of 21?Twenty-first (21st). Only the last digit determines the -st ending.
What is the ordinal form of 8?Eighth (8th). It has one t in the spelling, which is easy to miss.
What is the ordinal form of 100?Hundredth (100th). Hundred becomes hundredth, just as twenty becomes twentieth.

Built from your material

Flashcards come from the exact worksheet, slides or notes you upload, so you practice the ordinals your teacher actually used.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, which helps ordinal forms like twelfth and twentieth stick.

Study in the browser

The free plan lets you study right away in the browser with no download, so you can practice between classes.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl turns the content into flashcards with fronts and backs you can review and edit.

Study with spaced repetition

Review in the browser. Cards you struggle with reappear more often until they are automatic.

Ordinal numbers have a few patterns worth drilling separately. First, second and third are irregular, 4th through 10th take -th, and 11th, 12th and 13th break the -st, -nd, -rd rule. Tens like twentieth and thirtieth need their own practice, because they are easy to mix up with the cardinal numbers.

Spaced repetition helps here because you need short, repeated reviews of the same forms rather than one long session. Upload your notes once, study a few minutes a day, and the cards you miss will keep coming back.

Frequently asked questions

How do you write ordinal numbers from 11th to 13th?

Eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth take -th even though 1, 2 and 3 use -st, -nd and -rd. In numeral form they are written 11th, 12th and 13th, so they are the usual exceptions to the pattern.

How many ordinal numbers should I memorize first?

Start with first through tenth, since they cover most classroom use. Once those feel automatic, add the teens and tens like twentieth and thirtieth in a separate set.

Is the free plan enough to study ordinal numbers?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed to start. That is enough for a unit of notes, though exports are not included.

Can I print or export my flashcards?

Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV is a paid feature. Plus costs $39/year or $7.99/month and also includes unlimited generations and spaced repetition.
