Ratio - Using Ratio Language - Worksheet

The provided worksheet focuses on teaching pupils how to use ratio language to describe the relationship between two quantities. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to solve problems where the relative sizes of two quantities are compared, and missing values are deduced through integer multiplication and division facts. The lesson is supported by differentiated sheets, teaching slides, and cubes for hands-on learning. The key vocabulary for this lesson includes 'ratio', 'number', and 'compare', which will help children articulate the relationship between different values.

Students start by making simple comparisons between quantities, such as the ratio of boys to girls in their class, and are encouraged to write sentences like "For every one girl, there are two boys". As they progress, they will describe ratios from pictorial representations, complete missing parts of sentences, and calculate the number of objects based on given ratios. The worksheet also includes reasoning and problem-solving exercises where students apply their understanding of ratios to real-world scenarios, such as Rosie laying tiles in a specific pattern and determining if she can continue without any tiles left over. The tasks are designed to develop fluency, precision, and the ability to reason and solve problems using ratio language.
