GCSE Ratio: Sharing and Problem Solving

Make ratio sharing and problem solving accessible with this editable PowerPoint for KS3 and GCSE Foundation Maths.

What’s covered?

• Simplifying ratios
• Writing a share as a fraction
• Dividing quantities in two-part and three-part ratios
• Finding a total from one known share
• Applying ratio to triangle and quadrilateral angles
• Sharing holiday costs in a real-life context

Build understanding step by step
Use the teaching examples to model each method, then move into the practice prompts for discussion, guided work or independent application. The angle and holiday-cost problems help pupils connect ratio methods with familiar situations rather than treating them as isolated procedures.

Flexible for lessons and revision
Use selected slides for a focused recap, whole-class modelling, intervention or GCSE Foundation revision. The editable format makes it easy to adapt the examples and pace to your pupils.

Download includes: one editable PowerPoint presentation.
