GCSE & iGCSE Sharing Ratio worksheet

Ratio worksheet for GCSE and iGCSE maths: simplifying, sharing in a ratio, working backwards and ratio to fractions. Foundation and Higher, with solutions.

A complete sharing ratio worksheet for Pearson Edexcel GCSE (1MA1) and International GCSE (4MA1), written so one resource works for both tiers. Every section is clearly labelled Foundation or Higher, and questions get harder as you go.

What’s covered — Foundation

Simplifying ratios, including ratios with units, and writing them as 1 : n
Sharing an amount in a given ratio
Working back from one share, or from the difference between shares
Moving between ratios and fractions

What’s covered — Higher (grades 6 to 9)

Combining two ratios with a common part
Handling transfers between shares
Solving ratios of algebraic expressions
Mixing two mixtures

How it’s structured

A. Worked examples & Your turn — a model solution beside a matching question to try
B. Fluency — core skills
C. Reasoning — explain it
D. Problem solving — unfamiliar, multi-step questions
E. Exam practice — exam-style questions with mark allocations

131 marks across Sections B to E (68 Foundation, 63 Higher), with a progress tracker on the front page so students can record their score per section. The whole sheet is non-calculator, matching how ratio is examined, and the Higher section covers combining ratios and transfers — the two highest-value ratio skills at grades 6 to 9.

How to use it

Works as a full lesson, homework, a cover lesson or targeted intervention. Because each tier is labelled, you can set the Foundation sections to one group and the Higher sections to another from the same print.
