Our discussion problems are designed to get your children talking about their questions, answers and their methods of working out. This can help them to develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills, as well as their self-correction skills. This Year 6 Ratio and Proportion Problems Discussion Problem includes two in-depth questions that will help your class to develop these skills.

Use in class in small groups or pairs, and be sure to use our other resources for this lesson first, as the questions in this discussion problem require a strong foundation of knowledge to build upon.
