Ratio practice

Practise ratio at your own pace. Choose a support level, try each question on paper or in your jotter, use a hint if you need a first step, then show answers to check your work.

Pupil practice

Build your confidence

Choose a difficulty and number of questions. Try one question at a time, write down your working, then reveal answers only when you are ready to check. Hints give a first step without giving away the answer.
