This Year 6 ratio unit helps pupils develop confidence when comparing quantities, using ratio language and solving ratio and proportion problems. Aligned with White Rose Maths and the Year 6 National Curriculum, the block introduces ratio as a multiplicative relationship and builds towards solving increasingly complex problems involving scale factors, similar shapes and proportional reasoning.
Across the unit, pupils explore relationships between numbers, use ratio language and notation, connect ratios and fractions, solve problems involving scale drawings and scale factors, identify similar shapes, and apply ratio and proportion in real-life contexts. Pupils also use ratio tables, bar models and double number lines to reason efficiently and solve multi-step problems.
Resources are organised into comprehensive lesson packs containing detailed lesson plans, interactive teaching slides, differentiated worksheets and supporting activities. Assessment materials, revision mats and knowledge organisers are included to support retrieval practice and long-term understanding throughout the block.
These Year 6 ratio resources form part of our complete Maths Masters scheme. Explore the full spring term sequence for structured progression, interactive teaching slides and differentiated maths resources.

This Year 6 ratio block helps pupils understand multiplicative relationships and apply ratio reasoning in a range of mathematical contexts. Through carefully sequenced lessons, pupils learn how quantities relate to one another and use this understanding to solve increasingly challenging problems.
The unit introduces ratio language, ratio notation and equivalent ratios before extending learning into scale factors, similar shapes, proportional reasoning and practical problem-solving. Pupils also explore the links between fractions and ratios, helping them develop a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships and proportional thinking.
If you are looking for Year 6 ratio worksheets, Year 6 ratio lesson plans, White Rose Maths ratio resources, ratio and proportion activities, similar shapes worksheets, scale factor problems or a complete Year 6 ratio unit, this block provides lesson packs, teaching slides, planning and differentiated resources to support high-quality maths teaching throughout the unit.
