The final week of Unit 3: two days of mixed, real-life ratio and proportion problems, a self-directed review, extra timed practice, and the Unit 3 assessment. By the end of this week you should feel genuinely confident applying ratio and proportion to real situations, not just isolated exercises.

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.
