A KS3-4 proportion resource. Students are given one simple fact and then use it as a base to find others using proportional reasoning. Four different versions are included, with base facts:

  • 10 sweets cost £3.40
  • 6 drinks cost £8.40
  • 5 pies weigh 1.5kg
  • €1 ≈ $1.40

 The resource would be suitable as a starter or short task for a KS3 or lower KS4 class.
