In maths, a ratio is a relationship between two numbers showcasing how many times the first number contains the second, as an example if a bowl of fruit contains 6 apples and 2 bananas then the ratio would be 6:2 or the equivalent 3:1.
Help students to understand that ratio shows the relationship between two values through a wide range of activities, including bar model worksheets. Then solve ratio and proportion problems, remembering to prompt students using their multiplication and division facts to calculate scale factors using an activity or investigation.
