Fraction Concoction Game

Use your fraction addition and subtraction skills to make exciting fraction concoctions following a recipe. The game has four difficulty levels: easy, medium, hard, and insane. Practice the basics of fraction addition and subtraction or challenge yourself with the insane level.

How to play Fraction Concoction?
The aim of the game is to follow the recipe to make the required fraction concoction.
The vials are given as fractions and you would need to add or subtract the different vials to get the required amount of reagent as given in the recipe. Several of the reagents are then blended together to complete the recipe.

Steps to play Fraction Concoction

1. Select a vial and fill it with reagent from a dispenser (take note of the required symbol).
2. Pour the reagent into one of the beakers.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have the correct amount of reagent in the beaker.
4. Select the beaker to pour the reagent into the blender.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for another reagent.
6. When you have finished all reagents in the recipe correctly, the blender will start and you would have made your own fraction concoction.
7. The next recipe will then be shown.

Removing Reagent
In order to remove or subtract reagent from the beaker:

1. Select an empty vial and then select the beaker.
   
2. Pour the unwanted reagent into the sink.
   

These steps may be required for the harder levels.

Made a mistake
If you made a mistake you can dump unneeded reagent from a beaker or vial into the sink.

Difficulty Levels
There are options for four difficulty levels:

1. Easy: Add fractions with common denominator. (You can also subtract fractions but that is not required to get to the solution)
2. Medium: You may need to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominations. (Knowledge of equivalent fractions may be required and at most one fraction per ingredient may need to be converted)
3. Hard: Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators that may require several steps. (More than one fraction per ingredient may need to be converted)
4. Insane: For those who want a challenge. Each ingredient may require multiple vials added or subtracted several times. Mixed fractions may need to be converted.

If the “Adaptive difficulty” option is on, you will automatically be moved to the next level when you have completed three recipes correctly.

Generate New Recipe
Select the “Generate new recipe” option if you want to restart with a new recipe.

Keep vial selected after pouring
This option is useful if you need to select from the same vial several times. However, the vial must be deselected before picking up beaker.
