About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers proportions and proportional relationships, which is a fundamental topic in middle school mathematics appropriate for grades 6-7. Students work with the core concept that a proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equivalent, requiring them to understand cross-multiplication, unit rates, and direct variation. The problems demand mastery of algebraic thinking as students solve for unknown variables, calculate unit rates like miles per gallon or cost per item, and apply proportional reasoning to real-world scenarios including recipe adjustments, travel problems, and scale drawings. Students must demonstrate fluency with fraction operations, decimal calculations, and the ability to set up proportional equations from word problems, while also recognizing when two ratios do or do not form valid proportions. Created by Amie Chicko, a Mathematics teacher in the US who teaches grades 6-7. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for both formative and summative assessment of proportional reasoning skills, making it ideal for end-of-unit reviews, homework assignments, or warm-up activities to gauge student understanding. Teachers can use individual problems for quick checks during instruction or assign the entire quiz to evaluate student mastery before moving to more advanced ratio and proportion applications. The variety of problem types - from pure algebraic proportion solving to contextual word problems involving maps, recipes, and rates - allows educators to differentiate instruction and identify specific areas where students need additional support. This assessment aligns with standards 6.RP.A.3, 7.RP.A.2, and 7.RP.A.3, focusing on unit rates, proportional relationships, and multi-step ratio and percent problems.
