Ratio and Proportion teacher instructions

The comprehensive booklet provided is a valuable resource for Year 6 teachers aiming to address the curriculum objectives related to Ratio and Proportion. Each activity within the booklet is clearly aligned with specific objectives, which are conveniently stated at the top of each page. To facilitate planning and delivery, the booklet also lists the necessary equipment or resources for each task. Activities are categorised by symbols indicating whether they are most appropriate for the whole class, small groups, or pairs, allowing teachers to tailor the learning experience to their classroom dynamics.

Teachers are afforded the flexibility to incorporate these activities at various points in their lesson plans. They can be utilised at the start of a lesson to refresh or assess prior knowledge, during the main part of the lesson to reinforce new concepts, or at the end to gauge students' progress. Designed to complement existing teaching materials, these activities can also be particularly beneficial for children in intervention groups who may require additional practice. The KS2Gems website offers further resources that support these activities, including bar model templates, ratio images, mocktail recipes, and shapes on grids, which can be seamlessly integrated into the teaching of Ratio and Proportion.
