Build a Ratio Map From Your Own Material

Start from your class notes, a PDF worksheet or a simple topic name, and get a branched map you can study from.

Upload Your Class Notes

Add a PDF, Word file, slides or text notes and the AI groups ratio content into clear branches.

Expand Any Branch

Select a node such as direct proportion and ask AI to add worked examples or related terms.

Quiz Yourself From the Map

Turn the finished map into a quiz, or create flashcards from the same notes to practise.

How to Make a Ratio and Proportion Map

Three steps take you from scattered worksheet pages to a map you can review in minutes.

  1. 1

    Add Your Material

    Upload your notes, textbook pages or worksheet, or type the topic ratio and proportion.

  2. 2

    AI Builds the Map

    The AI sorts ratios, rates, proportions and their methods into connected branches.

  3. 3

    Study, Expand and Quiz

    Expand weak branches, edit wording, export a PNG or PDF, and test yourself with a quiz.

Ratio and Proportion Concepts Explained Visually

A ratio compares two or more quantities of the same kind, written as a:b or a/b. A proportion states that two ratios are equal. The topic splits into ratio notation and simplifying, equivalent ratios, rates and unit rates, and proportional relationships. Direct proportion means one quantity grows as the other grows, while inverse proportion means one grows as the other shrinks.

  • Ratio notation: writing, simplifying and reading a:b comparisons
  • Equivalent ratios: multiplying or dividing both terms by the same number
  • Rates and unit rates: speed, price per item and rate per one unit
  • Direct proportion: y = kx, with constant ratio y/x
  • Inverse proportion: xy = k, where products stay constant

Use this map to revise the methods before a test, then create a personalised ratio map from your own notes with CogniGuide to focus on what you find hardest.

Ratio and Proportion Questions Answered

Common questions about the topic and about building your own map.

What is the difference between a ratio and a proportion?

A ratio compares two quantities, such as 3:4. A proportion says two ratios are equal, such as 3:4 = 6:8. Proportions let you solve for a missing value in one of the ratios.

How do you tell direct from inverse proportion?

In direct proportion, both quantities rise or fall together and y/x stays constant. In inverse proportion, one rises as the other falls, and their product xy stays constant.

Which files can I use to make my ratio map?

You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also type the topic name instead.

Is it free, and can I turn the map into a quiz?

There is a free plan with 5 creations a week and no payment needed. Once your map is ready, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself.
