Suitable for Year groups: Year 7, Year 8
GCSE Tier: Foundation
Targeting grades: 1-3
Prerequisite knowledge: Times tables, factors and multiples.
Learning Objective: Simplify ratios using the highest common factor

Simplifying Ratios (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Students are guided through simplifying ratios step by step using division by the highest common factor in this well-organized worksheet.

In sections A - E students are given ratios and the highest common factor they can divided by, meaning they only have to provide the simplified answer. Take time to discuss similarities in ratios that divide by the same factors to aid your learners' development.

Next up, students are given the original and simplified ratios in sections F and G and are tasked with stating the common factor that the original ratio was divided by.

Finally, section H sees students simplifying 24 ratios independently.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your pupils should be confident with their times tables and have a solid understanding of factors and multiples before tackling this resource. These foundational skills are essential as students will need to identify the highest common factor to simplify ratios effectively. Without this prerequisite knowledge, learners may struggle with the division processes required throughout the worksheet.
