A 6th grader should understand that a ratio is a way to compare two quantities by showing how many times one value contains or is contained within the other. For example, if there are 2 apples for every 3 oranges in a basket, the ratio of apples to oranges can be written as 2:3. They should know that ratios can be simplified, just like fractions; if you have 4 apples and 6 oranges, the ratio 4:6 can be simplified to 2:3. Ratios can also be used in real-life situations, such as recipes or mixing paints. Understanding ratios helps solve problems involving proportional relationships.
