About this worksheet

Ratio tables. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can fill in a ratio table by multiplying (or dividing) both numbers in a row by the same number.
  • I can find a missing number in a ratio table and check it.
  • I can use a table with three columns when a story has two parts and a total.

Words to know

ratio: Two amounts compared, like 2 cups of yellow for every 3 cups of blue.

equivalent ratios: Ratios that match, like 2:3 and 4:6. They make the same mix.

ratio table: A table where every row is a ratio that matches the others.

row: One line of the table. It holds one pair of matching amounts.

multiplier: The number you multiply both amounts in a row by to get a new row.

batch: One whole recipe. Two batches means every amount is doubled.

Common mistakes

Your child added the same amount to both numbers instead of multiplying. Try doubling and tripling a recipe together and check that every amount is multiplied.

Your child put a number under the wrong label in a ratio table. Before filling in a table, ask them to write the two labels over the columns.

Your child treated the total as one of the two parts.

What to say

Ask: if you put both parts of the first row together, how many is that?
