What kinds of problems are on the sheet?

Some worksheets use scaled pairs and ratio tables. Others extend that reasoning to measurement conversions and explanations of proportional relationships.

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.

6th grade equivalent ratios & ratio tables worksheets

Equivalent ratio worksheets for sixth grade mix a scaled pair with one missing term, like 2 : 3 = 8 : __, and a ratio table with one empty cell. Other worksheets apply equivalent ratios to customary and metric measurement conversions and ask students to analyze conversion reasoning.

Every version prints on US Letter or A4, with its answer key after the problems.

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. In conversions, write the units beside both quantities so the direction of the ratio stays visible.

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.
