Check understanding
- Identify whether a real-world relationship is direct or inverse proportion and justify the choice
- Set up and solve a direct-proportion equation (e.g. if 4 pens cost £6, find the cost of 10)
- Sketch graphs showing direct proportion (straight line through origin) and inverse proportion (curve)
“Does your child understand the difference between quantities that grow together at the same rate (direct proportion) and ones where one goes up as the other goes down — like more workers meaning fewer days to finish a job (inverse proportion)?”
