About Ratio, Proportion and Rates

GoConqr Original

What this unit page covers

This page collects material on ratio, proportion and rates, made by GoConqr users. You will find quizzes, mind maps, flashcard decks, notes and a few slide sets. Topics include simplifying ratios, sharing an amount in a given ratio, unit rates, best buys, recipes, exchange rates, scale drawings, and direct and inverse proportion.

Where to start

If ratio is new to you, begin with the slide set Simplify Ratios Explained (Level 1) - Slide Show. It shows how to divide both sides of a ratio by the same number. Then read the notes on sharing a quantity in a given ratio. They work through a lottery prize split in the ratio 2: 3 by adding up the parts first.

Next, look at the everyday uses:

  • The notes Best Buys compare different sized boxes to find the best value.
  • The notes Using Ratio as Scales link scale diagrams on maps and building plans to real lengths.
  • The notes Exchange Rates and Recipes apply the same ideas to money and cooking.

Using quizzes and maps together

Start with the quiz Ratio Practice Questions. It includes a juice dilution question and a scone recipe to scale up. Note which questions slow you down. Then open a mind map on that topic. The maps on direct and inverse proportion explain that direct proportion follows y = k × x, with a worked example for finding the constant first. Proportional Relationships sets out the difference between ratios and rates in short definitions.

After the map, go back to a different quiz and see whether the same questions feel easier. Flashcard decks on ratio vocabulary and on solving proportion word problems are handy for short sessions.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Number strand of Mathematics. Most resources suit school students, and one quiz is labeled for GCSE. Some resources use grade-level names from other school systems, so check the title before you begin.

Your next step

Pick one topic from the list above, take a quiz, and then make a mind map or flashcards of your own to keep the method in mind.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Try the quiz Ratio Practice Questions. It mixes real situations, such as diluting juice and scaling a scone recipe, so you quickly see which ideas need work. If you want a gentler start, the slide set Simplify Ratios Explained (Level 1) - Slide Show covers simplifying ratios step by step.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

There are more than 50 mind maps. Several cover direct and inverse proportion, including the equation y = k × x and a worked example. Others define ratios and rates, explain ratio notation such as A:B, or look at variation. Some are short outlines, so open a few to find the style that suits you.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so style and depth vary. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Which levels and exams do these resources suit?

They are mostly for school students, with a small share aimed at younger learners. One quiz is written for GCSE, and a mind map is titled for the new GCSE. Others use grade names such as 6th, 7th or 8th grade. Check each title, then choose what matches your course.

Is there anything on exchange rates or scale drawings?

Yes. There are notes titled Exchange Rates and Scale Drawing, plus notes on using ratio as scales. The scale notes explain how each length on a plan or map stands for a real length. Best Buys and Recipes are also there if you want practical rate problems.

Can teachers use this page?

Yes. Teachers can pick ready-made quizzes for a quick check, such as pre-tests on ratios and proportions or on unit rate. Notes, slide sets and flashcard decks can support a lesson or homework. Look through the quizzes first, since they were written by different contributors.
