Question

what does \ascending\ order mean?
putting numbers is order from smallest to largest
putting numbers in order from largest to smallest

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "ascending order", we recall that ascending order refers to arranging numbers (or other elements) such that each subsequent element is larger than the previous one, i.e., from the smallest value to the largest value. The yellow card describes putting numbers from smallest to largest, which matches the definition of ascending order. The purple card describes descending order (from largest to smallest).

Answer:

Putting numbers in order from smallest to largest (the description on the yellow card)
