| What will students learn | This unit explores ratio notation, language, representations and contexts. The ratio notation of ð‘Ž: ð‘ is unpicked using bar models and this is used to show that in this notation it is possible to see fractional relationships. | ||

Students solve numerical problems about multiple copies of identical groups. Students use ratio notation to describe the composition of each group. Students scale up from one group to ‘many’ groups, preserving the ratio of the components of each group. They use multiplicative relationships to calculate unknown values in the ‘many’ groups. Students represent ratios concretely or pictorially. They use these representations to justify the equivalence of ratios. Students identify multiplicative relationships between ‘times tables’. They use similar patterns to solve problems in direct proportionality contexts (but they don’t discuss this concept explicitly). |
