About

Rio the cheetah sprinter needs help sorting race results written three ways. Students add tenths and hundredths in their heads, write 113/100 as a decimal, compare base-ten blocks, and drag cards to put fractions, mixed numbers and decimals in order, from race cards to four long jumpers. Every direction is narrated, and every wrong answer gets a spoken hint that points to the next place value to compare.
