What Are Ratios and Proportions?

A ratio shows how two or more values compare. Let’s take an example, if there are 2 apples for every 3 bananas, the ratio will be 2:3. Whereas, Proportion is when one value changes in relation to another value mentioned in the equation. This maths concept helps children understand how quantities grow or shrink at the same rate while solving real-life situations. These core mathematical ideas are really useful in cooking, measuring, map reading, and many other different situations.

Why Are Ratios Proportions Important?

Understanding ratios and proportions is a key part of KS2 maths. It helps children solve everyday problems, like sharing food fairly or doubling a recipe. These skills also prepare pupils for harder maths topics in later years. Our worksheets break down each idea into simple steps, so every child can follow along and succeed.

Real-Life Uses of Ratio and Proportion

We use ratios and proportions in many everyday tasks. In cooking, we use it to change recipe amounts. In building, it helps keep designs in scale. Even when mixing paint or comparing prices, ratios and proportions are used. These worksheets help your pupils understand how these maths skills are useful in real life, while improving accuracy and confidence in problem-solving.
