Order the numbers from greatest to least. Ensure you are ordering as follows (use the number line to help you visualize this):

Largest number at the top, smallest number at the bottom
1. -5
2. √16
3. 3²
4. |7|
5. |-2|
6. 2³

1. 2³ = 8

2. √16 = 4
3. 3² = 9
4. |-2| = 2
5. |7| = 7
6. -5

1. 3² = 9

2. 2³ = 8
3. |7| = 7
4. √16 = 4
5. |-2| = 2
6. -5

Apologies for the confusion. Here is the correct order:

1. 3² = 9
2. 2³ = 8
3. |7| = 7
4. √16 = 4
5. |-2| = 2
6. -5
