...October, a week apart, two new federal courthouses will open at opposite ends of the country. One sits in full view of the Atlantic Ocean in Islip, N.Y.; the other rises from the desert in Phoenix, Ariz. Both were designed by Richard Meier. There is perhaps no more appropriate building for Meier to design than a courthouse, a place where rules are enforced and and order is established.

Lisa Ballek, who teaches the game to all fifth-graders at Midland Elementary School in Rye, N.Y., says the simulation brings fractions and decimals to life, especially for students who struggle with math. "They're so excited that they can finally understand what all these numbers mean. That's my favorite part," she says. Her students finished the year with...
