PROPORTIONAL REASONING

OVERVIEW

This half term focuses initially on the meaning of ratio and uses bar models, double number lines and ratio tables to develop deep and connected understanding of ratio and proportion.

The links between ratio and fractions are also explored with pi introduced as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Conversion graphs are used as a contextual introduction to direct proportion with later work with maps and scales.

Note that Multiplying and Dividing with Fractions has been moved from original WRM scheme to Spring 2 to enable us to fit in the common assessment this half term.
