Propositions and suggestions needed on ascending_order activity

[Rohit Das]

Hi,
My name is Rohit Das. I've been currently working on the ascending_order
branch. This contains the ascending_order and alphabetical_order activity,
both of which are concerned with teaching kids how to arrange numbers and
letters respectively in either ascending or descending order.

Johnny and I have been discussing on how to make the hints more helpful to
enable chldren understand the concept and proceed. We are also musing upon
how to separate the act of arranging the objects in ascending and
descending order. We thought of:
1. Having a config option to switch between options, but the children might
not be able to find it, since they would be very small and might be a bit
difficult to navigate.
2. Have them select the ascending/descending order right after the activity
starts.

We could also have various types for the activity like weights, quantities,
prices of objects, etc to show how one value is larger/smaller than the
next. The types could be put in one activity, or can have their own
activities altogether.

The activities could also have categories, where the child may be asked to
find out the largest/smallest number present in the set. I am yet to figure
out how to make it easier to teach kids the alphabetical order and how it
can be looked at as ascending/descending.

Any suggestions, feedback is welcome regarding these two activities.

Thank you,
