Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions
The below QuickQuestion Interface © generates 10 random fractions. You must convert them to Mixed numbers or Improper fractions
Choose a maximum value for the denominator of your fractions, and then decide if you want to convert from Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers, from Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions, or choose Random to get a random selection of each type.
When typing answers, fractions should be written using the slash key (e.g. 3/2). For typing a mixed number, type the whole number part, then a single space before writing the rest of the fraction (e.g. 1 1/2). The format is very important, especially for giving a mixed number.
You can then check your answers, or if really stuck show the correct answer.

Ideas for Teachers
This is a good alternative to the QQI activity, if you just want to put 10 questions on the board. Then you can get answers from students to enter in the boxes before checking them, and correcting as necessary.
However, the real power in this activity is when you get the students using it themselves. In a computer lesson, set them all going on the activity, and get them to repeat until they get every question correct.
Or you can set it as a homework, telling them the conditions to use (different conditions for different students to differentiate the homework). Then get them to do one or two sets, all correct, and to take a screen shot and either email it to you, or, even better, stick it in their books. Since the questions are random, every student will get a different set of questions, and the immediate feedback means they can go back and correct their work straight away.
