In this interactive game, students must order decimals. In the game scenario, they help Builder Ted by placing the numbered bricks on a ladder in order. At the first level of difficulty, all numbers are positive, but the two higher include negative numbers as well. If a number is placed incorrectly, all the bricks immediately fall and the player begins again. Tips for students are available as well as a full explanation of the key instructional ideas underlying the game.
