Ratios and proportions

This topic explores the relationship between quantities through the concepts of ratio and proportion. Learners will understand how to compare quantities, divide them in given ratios, and solve real-life problems involving direct and inverse proportion. The topic connects strongly with scale drawing, map reading, recipe adjustment, and financial mathematics, making it highly relevant for practical application.

Learning Outcomes:
The learner should be able to:

• understand and apply equivalent ratios.
• Express relationships between quantities using ratios
• understand and apply direct and inverse proportional reasoning.
• understand and apply ratio, proportion and scale.)
• draw and interpret the line of best fit when looking for a relationship in bivariate data on a scatter graph.
• Interpret and solve problems involving direct and inverse proportions.
• Apply knowledge of proportion to real-life situations
• Demonstrate logical reasoning in proportional reasoning problems.
