This week puts ratio to work in real-world contexts: scaling recipes with direct proportion, working out which supermarket deal is actually better value, reading scale drawings and maps, and converting between units of measurement — some of the most genuinely useful skills in the whole course.

Unit 3 begins: Ratio & Proportion. This week covers what ratio actually means, how to simplify it, share an amount using one, and solve problems when you're only given part of the picture — genuinely practical maths that shows up everywhere from recipes to exchange rates.

The final week of Unit 2: algebraic fractions with multiplication and division, then two days pulling everything together — mixed problem solving and forming equations from real-life situations, before a self-directed review and the Unit 2 assessment.
