A two-way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will develop the children’s understanding of bar graphs, data handling, averages, negative numbers and data handling vocabulary.
Sheet 1 - 8 Questions asking about the average temperature in three cities across four months.
Sheet 2 - Questions asking about the average temperature in three cities across five months. Averages, decimals and extrapolation skills will be tested.
Answers are provided for both sheets. I have provided two different layouts which also add to the challenge. One has a wider line graph set, the other has a narrower set. This will test children’s adaptability to varying presentations.
Included in this detailed bundle:
Bar charts (including answers)
Line graphs (including answers)
Pie Charts (including answers)
Tally Charts
A massive time saver! Please see individual files for details.

Challenge 3 - Calculate the area and perimeter of compound/composite quadrilaterals (divisions removed)
Mastery Challenge - Calculate the area and perimeter of a huge, multi-compound shape and then the area of the shaded part.
Updated to include an interactive PowerPoint and PDFs of the slides for display purposes…more value than before!

A four way differentiated activity/worksheet that will develop a child’s understanding of area and perimeter. This version has gridlines removed for an extra challenge. Children will need to measure the shapes (all are whole numbers)
Challenge 1 - Calculate the area and perimeter of simple quadrilaterals.
Challenge 2 - Calculate the area and perimeter of compound/composite quadrilaterals (divisions present)
Challenge 3 - Calculate the area and perimeter of compound/composite quadrilaterals (divisions removed)

This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master opposite angles. Answers are included.
Children are challenged to:
- name the type of angle a ‘missing angle’ is.
- calculate its size in degrees
- measure it accurately using a protractor.
All angles are correctly sized.
There are two sheets, an Expected Standard sheet and a more challenging Greater Depth sheet (2016+ Curriculum). On each sheet there are nine missing angles, meaning that children have 27 things to do in order to complete one activity sheet.
Please rate and/or comment. All feedback is valuable.
Three differentiated activity sheets/worksheets with answers included. Perfect for KS2 and KS3. Wonderful for SATs revision.
Resources include:
Lower ability - 6 compound shapes to find the areas of. All lengths given and shapes are already divided.
Middle Ability - 8 compound shapes to find the areas of. Some lengths given and shapes are already divided.
Higher Ability - 7 compound shapes to find the area of. Some lengths given (some are decimals) and the shapes are not pre-divided.
Answer sheet - answers for all three activity/worksheets.
Please leave feedback and visit my shop for other high-quality resources. Thank-you.

These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the 2017 Year Two SATs Papers for Maths .
The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability.
If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2017 SATs with that score. If it goes Green with a yellow font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject.
I have also included an instructions and document page, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included a link to the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score.
All a teacher has to do is enter their children’s names and enter the 0’s, 1’s, 2’s or 3’s for each question, which also change colour too for a visual reference. I recommend that a teacher should enter ‘N’ if a child did not attempt that question. This gives an idea of who is not even attempting certain questions, not just whether they got the question wrong.
The sheets are set up for 32 pupils but more can be added/deleted and instructions are on the first page/sheet. Some cells are locked/protected in this document but the parts that you need to insert yourself are editable. This is so that the formulas/algorithms do not break and render the spreadsheet’s functionalities as broken.
I take requests for Gap Analysis Grids. Please leave feedback if you like this resource as I am planning to produce more for each SATs paper going forward, as well as CGP Practice Papers.
Please remember to rate this resource as I made this to save teachers time. Thank-you.
A complete bundle of Gap Analysis Grids / QLA (Reading, GPS, Spelling, Arithmetic and Reasoning) for the 2017 KS1 SATs assessments. I have also included links to the papers, the mark schemes and the conversion grids within each spreadsheet.
Included in this resource are three differentiated activity sheets for children to use to develop their understanding of the column method for addition and subtraction, short and long multiplication, mental division, short division and long division. All activity sheets have contextual problems to attempt.
Answer sheets are included and an editable version of each sheet is included so that you can tailor each activity to your own cohort.
There are four challenges per sheet, designed to be completed in a single lesson.
This resource is perfect for providing high-quality lessons for multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000.
The two activity sheets are each differentiated four ways and are designed to help you assess children’s abilities when presented with problems focused on various aspects of this National Curriculum Statement.
I have also included an editable A3 place value grid which will support less able children with some of the easier challenges.
