Description
This is a simple interactive to help students visualise rational and irrational numbers when placed on a number line. For rational numbers, they can manipulate the numerator and denominator to form the desired fraction. They can also change the number of decimal places displayed to gain a better understanding of repeating decimal values.

This interactive also comes with a simple number game. Students can generate a random number, after which they can drag the red indicator on the number line to locate the value. A "Check answer" button is provided to help students determine how close their answer is to the desired value.
