Maths Warm-Up: Mixpressions

Welcome to the Monday Morning Maths Club!

Every Monday, I bring you a free, no-prep maths activity that’s fun, flexible, and ready to go in your classroom. These activities are perfect for warm-ups, fast finishers, small group challenges, or whole-class games - all designed to get your students thinking, laughing, and learning.

Today’s challenge? Mixpressions!

Mixpressions

Mixpressions is a fun, interactive maths game from Transum.org. It’s flexible, fast-paced, and perfect for individual practice, pairs, or whole-class challenges.

How to Play

Students are given a set of numbers and operations. Their goal is to combine them to form a valid mathematical statement. For maximum engagement, have students test their answers on mini-whiteboards before checking solutions together on the interactive whiteboard (IWB). Students can work individually, in pairs, or as a whole class, making it easy to adapt to any lesson structure.

See example below:

Why It's so Good

  • Encourages students to experiment and test different combinations
  • Builds persistence, as students try multiple solutions before finding the correct one
  • Versatile, suitable for individual work, pair challenges, or whole-class competitions
  • Completely no-prep, with the website providing all questions and solutions for instant use

Mixpressions is the perfect interactive maths game. See it in action and turn your maths lesson into an interactive challenge!
