The ratio table is a very powerful model for helping learners join up the curriculum. We shall work with the ratio table, seeing how it merges from situations such as recipes and tape measures to how it can be applied to topics like compound measures, percentages and beyond. We learn the benefits of filling in the ratio table working across (rather than down) the page, recording various interim pairs of values, keeping hold of the context to help learners who struggle to reason proportionally make choices and see connections in their own novel ways.
This session is suitable for teachers of GCSE, GCSE resit, Functional Skills, Core Maths, Key Stages 2 & 3. The ratio table has universal appeal to all learners of school mathematics.
