Year 6 ratio knowledge organiser | Ratio: Spring Block 1
This Year 6 ratio knowledge organiser supports pupils in securing the key concepts taught across the Ratio block. It clearly sets out essential vocabulary, representations and methods linked to ratio, proportion and scaling, helping children make connections between ratio, fractions and multiplicative reasoning.
The organiser includes clear visual models such as bar models, ratio tables and double number lines to support understanding of simplifying ratios, scaling quantities and solving ratio problems. It also covers proportion and recipe-style problems, as well as scale factors and similar shapes, providing a consistent reference point throughout the block.
Aligned with the White Rose Ratio progression, this knowledge organiser is ideal for revisiting prior learning, supporting working memory, and reinforcing correct mathematical language. It can be used during lessons, as a reference tool for pupils, or as part of display and revision materials linked to Spring Block 1.
