This Grade 5 easy-1 worksheet introduces ratios as comparisons of two quantities side by side. Students practice writing ratios using the colon form, the word to form, and the fraction form, all while counting items in simple scenes. Picture-based questions help learners count carefully and form clear ratios. Short-answer prompts ask students to explain why the order of numbers in a ratio matters in everyday situations like classrooms and bags of fruit.
