About these worksheets
These worksheets provide comprehensive practice with ratios and proportional reasoning. Activities include finding ratios from visual models, interpreting ratio wording, using rate language, reducing ratios, solving ratio word problems, using double number lines, writing equations from ratios, creating equivalent ratios, determining proportionality from tables, and evaluating true and false ratio statements. Resources span sixth through seventh grade Common Core standards.
6rp1
Count each type of shape in a picture and compare the groups. Write ratios to show how many of one shape there are compared to another shape.
6rp1
Practice turning ratio phrases into a clear ratio using numbers (like 3 to 2 or 3:2). Learn to tell which quantity is being compared to which by reading the order of the words. Work with different ways ratios are written, like “for every,” “per,” “each,” and “out of.” Decide whether a statement is comparing part-to-part or part-to-whole.
6rp2
Learn what rate words like per, each, and every mean in a problem. Match a rate statement to the correct ratio (like 3 apples for every 2 oranges).
6rp3c
Practice simplifying a ratio by dividing both numbers by the same factor. Find the greatest common factor of two numbers to reduce a ratio all the way. Check that a reduced ratio is correct by scaling it back up to match the original.
6rp3c
Find and write ratios from a word problem by comparing two amounts. Use a given ratio to figure out a missing part when you know the other part. Use a given ratio to find the total when you know one part of the ratio. Explain what a ratio means in context using clear words like “for every” or “per.”
6rp3b
Read a double number line to see how two quantities match up in a ratio. Find missing values by scaling both sides of a ratio up or down on the number lines. Find and use a unit rate (like per 1) from a double number line to answer questions.
6rp3d
Turn a ratio between two measurements into an equation with a variable. Use a given unit rate to write an equation that connects two quantities. Match each part of a ratio to the correct variable so the equation represents the situation.
6rp3d
Use a ratio equation to find a missing value in a pair of equivalent ratios. Set up a proportion from a word problem by matching the units correctly. Solve for a variable in a ratio equation using multiplication and division.
7rp2a
Fill in a missing number to make two ratios equivalent. Scale a ratio up or down by multiplying or dividing both parts by the same number. Recognize when two ratios compare quantities in the same way, even if the numbers look different. Use equivalent ratios to keep a constant rate when you change the size of a group or amount.
7rp2a
Decide whether two columns in a table show a proportional relationship. Find the constant of proportionality by comparing each pair of values in the table. Use unit rate to check if the ratio stays the same across the table. Spot when a table is not proportional because the ratios change from row to row.
6rp1
Practice writing a ratio to compare two amounts in a clear way. Decide which number in a ratio matches each part of a situation (like red to blue or boys to girls). Create a simple word scenario that matches a given ratio.
6rp1
Use unit rates to compare ratios and confirm whether a statement matches the situation.
