More Grade 6 ratios & proportions skills
Each one generates a different kind of question, with its own three levels and answer key.
- Writing RatiosTurn a sentence like “9 red and 4 blue” into a ratio.
- Simplifying RatiosReduce a ratio to its lowest terms, the way you reduce a fraction.
- Equivalent RatiosFill the gap so two ratios describe the same relationship.
- Comparing RatiosDecide whether two ratios match, and which one is bigger.
- Sharing in a RatioSplit an amount of money or a pile of counters in a given ratio.
Frequently asked questions
▸What are ratios and proportions in Grade 6?
A ratio compares two quantities, such as 2 red to 3 blue. A proportion states that two ratios are equal, like 2:3 = 8:12. Grade 6 focuses on ratio language, equivalent ratios, and unit rates before Grade 7 formalises proportional relationships.
▸What is a unit rate, and how is it different from a ratio?
A ratio compares two quantities (say 150 miles to 3 hours). The unit rate is the amount for one unit — divide to get 50 miles per 1 hour. Choose the Unit Rates sub-skill and every problem works with that per-one value.
▸How do you simplify a ratio?
Divide both parts by their greatest common factor. For 12:18 the GCF is 6, so it simplifies to 2:3. The Simplifying Ratios sub-skill generates exactly this practice, and the answer key gives each ratio in lowest terms.
▸How many ratio problems should one worksheet have?
Ten to fifteen suits most Grade 6 sessions. Use the stepper to set the count, then press Shuffle for a brand-new set at the same difficulty when you want more practice without repeating the same numbers.
▸Can I print the answer key and reprint the same sheet later?
Yes. Tick the answer key box and a numbered key prints on its own final page, easy to keep aside. The web address stores your exact worksheet, so bookmarking or sharing the link reproduces the identical problems and key.
