Strengthen pupils’ recall of essential ratio, proportion and rates of change vocabulary with this comprehensive Maths Literacy Anagrams resource. Designed for mixed-level KS3 and GCSE mathematics, this by-strand pack provides focused, clue-based practice with the language used in ratio, scale, proportion, unit conversion, rates, compound measures, percentage change, reverse percentage and financial contexts.

For each question, pupils read a mathematical clue, identify the intended term, rearrange the scrambled letters and record the correctly spelled answer using the word-length support. Pupils must understand the definition before solving the anagram, so the activity develops mathematical literacy, definition recognition, accurate spelling and vocabulary retrieval rather than functioning as a simple word puzzle.

Vocabulary included: best buy, compound interest, conversion, density, exchange rate, percentage decrease, pressure, rate, ratio, ratio notation, reverse percentage, scale drawing, scale factor, speed, unitary method.
