The multiplicative relationship is extended in the future unit by considering percentages and the connections between multiplicative relationships and direct proportion. By building on a secure understanding of fractions and ratio, pupils can see their understanding of multiplicative relationships being extended.

In the prior unit, pupils generalised and developed their fluency of multiplying with fractions. In this unit, this understanding is extended to ratio and connections between ratios and fractions are explored.

This unit introduces the concept of multiplicative relationsihps, and connects fractions to the idea of ratios. Ratios are then explored in depth and used to solve contextual problems such as those involving exchange rates and general conversions.

For every 1 t-shirt, there are 2 pairs of shorts.

Number of pairs of shorts × 1 = Number of t-shirts

Number of pairs of shorts × 0.5 = Number of t-shirts

A quantity is divided into two parts: A and B. Match each ratio with the correct fraction.

A quantity is divided into two parts: A and B. Match each ratio with the correct formula.

A quantity is divided into two parts: A and B. Match each fraction with the correct formula to find B.

If two things are proportional then the ratio of part to whole is maintained and the __________ relationship between parts is also maintained.

"For every 9 circles there are 15 squares."

"For every 36 circles there are 60 squares."

"For every 1.5 circles there are 2.5 squares."

"For every 1 circle there are 1.5 squares."

Which are equivalent ratios to: "For every 3 circles there are 5 squares."
