Write Ratios From Pictures Three Ways
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Write Ratios From Pictures Three Ways" is written for 6th Grade (Ages 11-12), and it covers Common Core 6.RP.A.1. If your student is a year younger but already steady on ratios, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and ratio language never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.
6th grade math worksheet: count shapes and write 8 ratios like circles to squares three ways, as 5 to 3, with a colon and as 5/3. Answer key included. Part of our ratio language ratios collection. Aligned to Common Core standards.
How do I use this worksheet?
Start with the picture page so students see what each number counts, then move to the word groups. Ask students to say each ratio aloud, such as 8 apples to 14 pieces of fruit, before they write it.
What students will practice
- Students will count shapes in a picture and write 8 ratios.
- Students will write each ratio three ways, with the word to, a colon and a fraction.
- Students will write part-to-whole ratios, such as triangles to all shapes as 3 to 8.

Start with the picture page so students see what each number counts, then move to the word groups. Ask students to say each ratio aloud, such as 8 apples to 14 pieces of fruit, before they write it.
What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Count shapes and write 8 ratios like circles to squares three ways, as 5 to 3, with a colon and as 5/3. A ratio compares two amounts. The ratio of a to b can be written a to b, a: b or a b. The directions on the page read: Count the shapes. Write each ratio three ways. An answer key is included.
Can I use this ratio language worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade ratios, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with ratio language. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
What are the three ways to write a ratio?
⌄
As a to b, as a : b, or as a fraction a/b. On Write Ratios From Pictures Three Ways, 5 circles and 3 squares give 5 to 3, 5 : 3 and 5/3.
What is the difference between part-to-part and part-to-whole ratios?
⌄
A part-to-part ratio compares two parts of a group, and a part-to-whole ratio compares one part with the whole group. A class with 12 girls and 15 boys has a girls to boys ratio of 12 : 15 and a boys to all students ratio of 15 : 27.
Do the ratios need to be simplified?
⌄
On Part-to-Part and Part-to-Whole Ratios, yes. Students write each ratio with a colon and then in simplest form, so 12 : 15 becomes 4 : 5. Both sheets have an answer key.
