This GeoGebra applet generates random numbers of three types of positive rational numbers such as fraction, decimal, and percentage. The [b][i][color=#38761d]green square[/color][/i][/b] represents the fraction, the [b][i][color=#9900ff]purple square[/color][/i][/b] represents the decimal, and the [b][i][color=#ff7700]orange square[/color][/i][/b] represents the percentage.[br][br]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 "[i]Reset Answers[/i]" BUTTON to start over.[br][br](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).[br]
