This research was a case study involving one teacher and 30 fourth grade students of elementary school in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Data were collected through observation and video recording. During the teaching experiment, the researchers and some observers recorded and took notes about what happen in the classroom, especially about the use of the media. This study provided information about the media that can be used in learning to order decimal numbers associated with thematic learning. The results showed that there were advantages and disadvantages of media used. In addition, it was still difficult for teacher to help students to order decimal numbers.
