Mixed Number Mixer: Mixed Numbers Game for Grades 4‑6
Pour, mix and measure before the fuse runs out.
You run a busy potion lab. Each order shows two beakers of liquid measured in mixed numbers. Add them together or pour one out, then type the exact amount that ends up in the result beaker before the fuse burns down. Practice adding and subtracting mixed numbers with like denominators, then unlike denominators, and learn to write answers as simplified mixed numbers.

What kids practise
Mixed Number Mixer gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with mixed numbers, adding fractions, subtracting fractions, unlike denominators, and simplifying fractions. It is written for grades 4-6, with levels that let younger and older players start at the right difficulty. Every question is generated fresh, so a replay is never the same, and a wrong answer shows the correct one so the round teaches as well as tests.
How it plays
