Four themed sections of ratio and proportion for Year 6 maths. Pupils scale a party punch recipe for 12 people, find the scale factor between two rectangles, share prize money between Ali and Ben, then calculate 15% of 360 and compare percentages. Covers four England National Curriculum objectives, with an answer key at the end.
Ratio and proportion
“Solve problems involving the relative sizes of two quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division facts”
The recipe scaling section is built on this.
Ratio and proportion
“Solve problems involving the calculation of percentages [for example, of measures, and such as 15% of 360] and the use of percentages for comparison”
Percentage Power includes the curriculum's own 15% of 360 example.
Ratio and proportion
“Solve problems involving unequal sharing and grouping using knowledge of fractions and multiples”
The prize-share section splits money in a ratio.
Recipe scaling, including how much orange juice a 12-person punch needs.
