Every version prints on US Letter or A4, with its answer key on the last page.

How to teach this

Ask for the multiplier out loud before the blank gets filled: "2 became 8, that's times 4." In the tables, have your child pencil the multiplier next to each row instead of eyeballing the columns. If addition creeps in, cook up the counterexample: a mix of 1 cup sugar to 2 cups flour doesn't taste the same at 2 and 3.

Watch for: Kids add the same amount to both sides, turning 2 : 3 into 4 : 5. Equivalent ratios multiply: 2 : 3 doubled is 4 : 6. Kids scale only the side with the blank. Find the multiplier from the complete pair first, then apply it to the other part.

Common questions about equivalent ratios & ratio tables

What kinds of problems are on the sheet?: Half are scaled pairs like 2 : 3 = 8 : __, half are ratio tables with one empty cell. Both practice the same move: multiply both parts by the same number.
How is this different from equivalent fractions?: Same multiplication engine, new notation. A ratio compares two quantities side by side instead of part to whole, and writing 2 : 3 = 4 : 6 sets up proportions later in the year.
