Direct Proportion & Unitary Method Lesson Pack | Functional Skills L1–L2 & GCSE Foundation | Workshe

Build strong proportional reasoning skills with this complete Direct Proportion and Unitary Method Lesson Pack, ideal for Functional Skills Maths (L1–L2), GCSE Foundation, revision lessons and vocational courses.
This pack provides everything you need to teach, practise and revise direct proportion, scaling up/down, exchange rates, recipe problems and ratio sharing—all using clear, real-life contexts.

The teaching PowerPoint explains direct proportion, unitary method, scale maps, recipe scaling and ratio sharing using step-by-step examples, worked models and guided practice. Learners are taught the core method: divide by what you have, multiply by what you need.

The RAG/on-screen worksheet supports learners with colour-graded tasks and accessible examples that develop confidence gradually.

The highlight of the pack is the Proportion Codebreaker, where students answer a range of direct proportion questions (scales, fuel consumption, exchange rates, staffing ratios, house plans) to reveal a hidden joke. A full answer sheet is included for easy marking.

Perfect for whole-class teaching, intervention groups, homework or assessment preparation.
