Fraction Arithmetic
The below QQI Relay © shows one question at a time, and to proceed to the next question, you need to answer the current one correctly. Decide how many questions you want (you can always finish early if need be).
Choose which of the four operations you would like to practise, or select Random to get a mixture of questions.
Decide whether the fractions should be Unitary, Proper, Mixed or Improper, and if you would like one of the two numbers to be a whole number.
Choose how the denominators should relate to each other, and finally the maximum size of the denominator.
You can type your answers into the box to check them. Layout is important, and you should type fractions using / (eg "1/2"). If the questions is given as a mixed number, then the answer should be given as a mixed number, typed with a space between the number part and the fraction part (eg "3 1/2").
When the questions appear, type your answer in the boxand click Check Answer to see if you are right. If correct, move on to the next question.

Ideas for Teachers
This activity requires each pupil to have access to a computer or other internet enabled device. They will each get a different random set of questions, and at the end you can see how they did in the results table. This is great for spicing up an activity as it adds an element of competition to the work.
Get them to set a high number of questions, such as 100, and then get students to answer as many as possible in 5 or 10 minutes. Have a prize for the one with the highest point score (awarding accuracy and speed).
