Revision notes

Revise ratio and proportion

Represent ratios with equal-sized units, divide an amount into shares and solve problems where a ratio changes.

Key ideas

  1. Ratios and equal shares

    Use equal-sized ratio units to compare and share quantities with whole-number terms.

  2. Ratios before and after a change

    Before comparing two ratios, find what stays the same and give it the same number of units in both ratios.

What the syllabus asks

From the Primary 6 Mathematics 2026 syllabus

  • Notation, representations and interpretation of a:b and a:b:c, where a, b and c are whole numbers, excluding ratios involving fractions and decimals
  • Equivalent ratios
  • Dividing a quantity in a given ratio
  • Expressing a ratio in its simplest form
  • Finding the ratio of two or three given quantities
  • Finding the missing term in a pair of equivalent ratios
  • Relationship between fraction and ratio
