What each grade’s quiz covers
| Grade | Question types | Learn it |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 6 (class 6) | Writing ratios, equivalent ratios, simplest form, ratio tables, double number lines, tape diagrams, comparing ratios, unit rates, unit price and speed | 6th grade ratios |

What is in the quiz?
Pick a grade and answer 10 mixed questions. There are shapes to count, ratio tables, tape diagrams, double number lines, prices, speeds, proportions and maps. Each answer is marked straight away with a hint, and Play again gives a fresh quiz every time.
Ratios have one box for each part, so 2 : 3 is typed as 2 and 3. When a question asks you to write a ratio, any equivalent ratio is accepted. Simplify questions need the simplest form.
Money and rate answers are typed with a point, like 4.50. The on-screen number pad has a point key, so the quiz works on phones and tablets too.
How to use the quiz
- As a check-up: take the quiz for your child’s grade once a week and note the score.
- Read the hints: every wrong answer shows how to work it out. Talk through one together.
- Go back a grade if the grade 7 score is under 6 out of 10. Most grade 7 mistakes start with grade 6 ratio tables.
- For one skill at a time, use the ratio practice tool and pick a skill.
- To track progress step by step, use the ratio levels.
What the score means
| Score | What to do next |
|---|---|
| 9 or 10 | Secure. Try the next grade, or the next ratio level. |
| 7 or 8 | Nearly there. Read the hints for the misses and retake in a few days. |
| 6 or less | Go back to the lessons for the question types missed, or try grade 6. |
Look at which questions were missed, not just the total. Three misses on tape diagrams need a different fix from three misses on unit prices.
The errors the quiz shows up
Ratio mistakes follow a few patterns. Spotting the pattern tells you what to teach next.
- Swapping the order: 3 : 2 instead of 2 : 3. See what is a ratio.
- Adding instead of multiplying: 2 : 3 = 4 : 5. See equivalent ratios.
- Sharing by the ratio numbers: forgetting to find one part. See tape diagrams.
- Dividing the wrong way for a unit rate. See unit rates.
- Calling any straight line proportional. See proportional relationships.
