Using Ratio Notation WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade, 7th Grade
CCSS: 6.RP.A.1, 7.RP.A.2.A
CCSS Description: Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin.

Using Ratio Notation WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet links sentences such as “For every 5 bananas there are 15 oranges” with ratios of 5 : 15 and 1 : 3.
In section A learners will discover different multiplicative relationships between amounts and discuss this using sentence stems and ratio notation. Then in section B, pupils will match images to the correct ratios.
Equivalent ratios are introduced throughout sections C and D, where double number lines are used as a visual representation.
Students are required to use a stacked number line to solve problems which involve using integer multiplication and division facts.
