5. Ratio Word Problems

Give your students the experience of solving problems on the topic of Ratio and Proportion with this challenging pack of 54 questions. Students will convert between different units of measurement and read and solve a diverse selection of problems.

Sections Included

♦ 24 warm-up problems involving conversion of units from meters to centimeters, dollars to cents, hours to minutes and seconds, kilograms to grams, centimeters to millimeters, liters to milliliters, kilometers to meters,

♦ 30 Word Problems that include a diverse selection of problems targeting differentiation. The ‘Work with the Teacher’ pages help familiarize students with the working-out of the problem so students are able to attempt the ‘Work with a Partner’ pages either with a partner or independently. These pages adopt the same approach to solving the problem similar to the ‘Work with the Teacher’ pages. The word problems are also similar, just featuring different digits to reinforce problem-solving strategies and set up all students for success. The ‘Work with the Teacher and a Partner’ pages would be more suitable for students willing to take on more of a challenge.

♦ Detailed answer key for all problems that can be projected on an interactive whiteboard for explicit teacher explanation.
