Our Year 6 ratio worksheets and lesson resources follow the full White Rose Spring Block 1 progression, supporting pupils as they compare quantities, simplify ratios, use ratio notation and connect ratio to fractions. The pack also includes tasks on scale drawings, scale factors and similar shapes to build secure multiplicative reasoning.
