Pattern Exploration Worksheet

Help Hana pack fruit kebabs for a picnic. Look for the repeating groups, use counters or drawings, and show how you know.

Fruit kebab patterns

A ratio compares how many of one thing there are with how many of another. In each kebab group, count the strawberries and kiwifruit.

1.Each kebab has 2 strawberries and 1 kiwifruit. What is the ratio of strawberries to kiwifruit?

2.Hana makes 3 identical kebabs. Each has 2 strawberries and 1 kiwifruit. How many strawberries and kiwifruit does she need altogether?

3.Which group keeps the same 2 strawberries to 1 kiwifruit ratio?

2 strawberries and 2 kiwifruit
4 strawberries and 2 kiwifruit
3 strawberries and 2 kiwifruit

4.A fruit box has 3 apples for every 1 pear. Write the ratio of apples to pears, then find the number of apples needed for 2 pears.

Picnic drink station

The drink station mixes 1 scoop of berry syrup with 2 cups of water for one jug.

5.For one jug, what is the ratio of syrup scoops to cups of water?

6.For 2 jugs, how many scoops of syrup and cups of water are needed if the mix stays the same?

8.A snack plate has 2 crackers for every 1 cheese cube. Draw a plate with the same ratio for 3 cheese cubes. How many crackers will you draw?

9.Hana packs 8 strawberries and 4 kiwifruit. Does this match the kebab ratio of 2 strawberries to 1 kiwifruit? Explain how you know.

10.Make your own picnic snack mix using two kinds of food. Draw or write a group, then state the ratio and describe how many of each food you would need for two groups.
