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.
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.
6rp1
Read two quantities from a table. Write a part-to-part ratio. Work out the whole and write a part-to-whole ratio.
6rp1
Judge whether a ratio matches a table. Read a table as a row against another row, against the total, and against two rows combined. Reject a ratio written in the wrong order.
6rp1
Find how many more one amount is than another. Find how many times as many one amount is. Explain that the two answers are not the same.
About these worksheets
Students develop rate and proportional reasoning skills through real-world applications. Worksheets cover unit prices, finding ratios and unit rates, working with unit fractions, understanding unit rates with fractions, identifying the constant of proportionality from tables and graphs, using the y = kx formula, explaining proportional variables, and creating tables and graphs from ratio scenarios. Aligned with sixth and seventh grade standards.
6rp3b
Find the cost for 1 item when you’re given a total cost for several items. Use a unit price (cost per 1) to figure out the cost for a different number of items. Compare two deals by finding the unit price and choosing the better buy. Work with money amounts written as decimals when solving shopping word problems.
6rp3b
Find and write a ratio to compare two amounts in a situation. Use division to find a unit rate, like cost per item or miles per hour.
6rp3a
Turn a real-world ratio situation into a table of matching values. Plot ratio pairs as points on a coordinate plane. Use the graph to see and describe the proportional relationship.
6rp2
Divide a ratio to find a unit rate. Decide which quantity goes underneath. Write the rate with its unit.
6rp2
Find the unit rate from any row of a table. Recognize that every row gives the same rate. Divide rather than continue a pattern.
6rp2
Write both unit rates for one ratio. Explain what each of the two rates means. Choose the rate a question needs.
