Activity 18.2b: Ordering of (Positive) Rational Numbers on a Number Line - Random Values
Description of the Applet
This GeoGebra applet generates random numbers of three types of positive rational numbers such as fraction, decimal, and percentage. The green square represents the fraction, the purple square represents the decimal, and the orange square represents the percentage.
Drag the colored squares onto the gray squares to order the three numbers from least to greatest. A "Correct Order" message will appear if you get it right. Click the "Reset Answers" BUTTON to start over.
(Optional) Click the CHECKBOX to show the number line for easier visualization. You can also click another checkbox to reveal the correct placement of the numbers on the line (if needed).
