Find the order

Key notes :

What is “Order”?

  • “Order” tells us how many times we need to do something before it goes back to where it started.
  • It’s like counting how many steps or actions it takes to complete a full cycle.

Example with Steps:

  • Imagine climbing stairs. If you go up and down and then up again to where you started, the order of steps is 3.
  • You counted 1, 2, 3 steps to finish the cycle.

Finding Order:

  • To find the order, you keep doing the action (like spinning a top or taking steps) until you see the same thing again.
  • Count how many times you did the action—it’s the order
