Proportion Word Problems Matching: Level 1

Use proportions to represent real-life scenarios in this seventh-grade worksheet! To start, students will read the scenario, then match it to its corresponding proportion. Then, learners must match each proportion with its solution. Each proportion in this worksheet can be solved by multiplying a scale factor, which prepares students for working with more challenging proportions later on.

This practice encourages students to see how proportions can be used to solve practical problems. Students will encounter these situations in their own lives, and knowing how to apply proportions can help them become stronger problem solvers. Proportional reasoning and representing ratios are important concepts for students to understand as they compare, write equations for, and interpret graphs of proportional relationships.
