Word Problem Workshop: Word Problems Game for Grades 2‑6
Read the order, pick the right machine, build the answer.
Customer orders arrive as short stories. Choose the machine that fits the story (combine, take away, equal groups or share), then enter the answer before the order timer runs out. Higher levels add two-step orders, bigger numbers and multiplicative comparisons. Every mistake shows a bar model that explains the story.

What kids practise
Word Problem Workshop gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with word problems, choosing the operation, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and two-step problems. It is written for grades 2-6, 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.
