Read ratios in context
Keep ingredient order consistent: a recipe with 2 cups of lemon juice for every 5 cups of water has a juice-to-water ratio of 2:5. A labeled tape diagram shows the original quantities.
LITTLE PRACTICE. BIG CURIOSITY.
Sixth Grade Math Games
Ratio Kitchen uses familiar recipe problems to introduce proportional reasoning. Eight challenges ask learners to find a missing ingredient amount while keeping the original ratio. Play without signing in, with spoken directions, hints, and explanations from Pip.

What your child can practice
Complete equivalent ratio tables
Each table gives the original recipe and one quantity in a new batch. Find the scale factor, then apply it to the other ingredient. For example, tripling 2 cups of juice means tripling 5 cups of water to 15 cups.
Scale recipes up and down
Practice larger batches as well as half and quarter batches. Correct answers show both calculations so learners can explain why multiplying or dividing both amounts by the same number preserves the ratio.
A starting point for sixth-grade math
This game practices ratio language and missing values in equivalent-ratio tables, connected to Common Core 6.RP.A.1 and the table reasoning in 6.RP.A.3a. It introduces one part of sixth-grade learning; combine it with classroom lessons, discussion, and other ratio problems.
A FEW MINUTES TOGETHER
How to get started
- Open Sixth grade and choose Ratio Kitchen.
- Compare the original and new amounts of the first ingredient.
- Apply the same scale factor to the second ingredient, fill in the missing amount, and check the ratio.
There is no time limit for answering. A correct answer moves to the next question after five seconds; Next moves on sooner. Follow your child’s pace and pause whenever they need a break.
Learning at home, your way
Great teachers give children guidance and encouragement every day. Families can build on classroom lessons or use these games for extra practice alongside their homeschool curriculum. Choose what connects with your child’s interests and what you are teaching.
