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.
