Thank you.
A full lesson on simplifying and dividing into ratios - drag and drop starter to demonstrate how equivalent ratios work. Activity for dividing into ratio uses multi-link cubes (or counters etc..) as a practical resource to physically share out the numbers into different ratios. Questions include angles and money. Includes investigation on colouring grids in certain ratios - which will work, which will not and why

Brilliant resource.
Inside Maths builds on the success of the series Maths 4 Real. Fran has a dinner party which she wants Dave to prepare. When he heads off to start cooking she explains the concept of ratios and proportions using vivid animated graphics. On arriving at Fran’s flat, Dave finds out that the recipe for chilli is for four people and not the six guests that are expected. This means he has some maths to do to make sure that when he uses more ingredients, he keeps them all in the right proportion. Back in the studio Fran does that maths, creating a new ingredient list for the chilli. She then looks at the fruit punch, made from four different juices, and works out how much of each juice is required to make two litres. At the flat Dave has encountered another problem. He’s been nibbling his way through a bar of chocolate and now there’s not enough to make the fudge brownies. Can he, with what little chocolate is left, use ratios and proportions to make sure the brownies still taste good?

Another great hands-on resource from this user. Thanks very much for sharing.
Three sections - first asks pupils to colour a set of counters in a given ratio, second asks for basic ratios (no units) to be simplified and the third leads pupils through unitary method to solve proportion problems.

Fantastic for my students
Students firstly try the ratios worksheet which has an Alice in Wonderland theme! These worksheets begin with simplifying ratios, then move on to using, writing and dividing ratios. They are differentiated by ability, with bronze being the simplest and gold being the most challenging. Following this, students move on to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party worksheet, where they must use the ratios provided by Johnny Depp to design his tea party table! This involves lots of drawing, and so appeals to the visual learners within the classroom.

An excellent set of differentiated worksheets on ratios, well presented. The Mad Hatter's tea party task is a nice extension too and would make good display work. Thanks for sharing.
