Why this resource is useful:

Ratio and proportion questions often appear in real-life contexts, which can make them harder for students to decode. This workbook is designed to build confidence by introducing each skill clearly, modelling the method, then giving students structured practice before moving into mixed and exam-style questions.

Students practise the core methods first, including simplifying ratios, sharing in a ratio and using the unitary method, before applying those skills to recipes, best value, speed, density, direct proportion and inverse proportion.

For teachers and tutors, it saves planning time while providing a clear sequence of learning. For home educators and parents, it gives a straightforward route through ratio and proportion without needing to create resources from scratch.

Answers are included, making the workbook suitable for self-marking, homework, revision lessons, tutoring sessions or independent catch-up work.
