Included are two activity sheets/worksheets where children need to count up and back in number sequences
- Lower ability (first three numbers given, the rest relies on counting on in 2, 3, 5 etc)
- Higher Ability (sequence of eight numbers, some missing, where children will need to count on and back in order to solve the problem).
Perfect for meeting the requirements of KS2.
- Find missing angles in right angles
- Find missing angles on a straight line
- Find missing angles around a point
- Find missing opposite angles
- Calculate interior/exterior angles of polygons
-Name, calculate and measure using a protractor
Huge saving!
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.
An exciting and fully-interactive way (including lifelines) to revise and assess understanding of perimeter, area and volume.
There are 15 questions, testing children’s knowledge of:
- Units (cm, cm squared, cm cubed)
- Perimeter and area of triangles.
- Formulas to find the area of quadrilaterals such as squares, rectangles, parallelograms and trapeziums.
- How to calculate a missing dimension when given the area/volume.
…and more!

Updated to include an interactive PowerPoint and PDFs of the slides for display purposes…more value than before!
A fun three way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will help children develop an understanding of how to calculate the area of parallelograms and trapeziums, as well as compound/composite polygons.
Challenge 1 - Measure and calculate the area of simple polygons.
Challenge 2 - Measure and calculate the area of compound/composite polygons.
Mastery Challenge - Measure and calculate the area of a large, multi-polygon compound/composite polygon.
A whole weeks worth of differentiated work!
- Calculate area of triangles.
- Calculate area of parallelograms and trapeziums.
- Calculate area of compound/composite polygons.
- Calculate the perimeter of polygons.
All with 1cm gridlines to help reinforce strategies.
11 HD photographs of a sheep heart dissection including a look at a professional dissection kit.
Excellent for showing children the inside of a heart and great for stimulating debate.
This activity will enable children to have a deeper understanding of percentages off amounts or quantities - a key skill in life.
Included is:
- A pdf version of the questions and answers
- A .doc version of the questions and answers so that you can edit the questions to meet your class' individual needs.
This resource contains three sets of differentiated questions that will develop children's understanding of multi-step problems. These are similar in scope to SATs questions.
Answers are provided.
An editable copy is included so that you can modify to suit your own class's needs.
An interactive PowerPoint and PDF file that will guide children through how to calculate perimeter, area and volume. All formulas are coloured so that children can see exactly where the numbers in the worked examples came from.
In this presentation/pdf are slides/pages about:
Calculating Perimeter
Calculating the area of squares, rectangles and parallelograms.
Calculating the area of trapeziums.
Calculating the area of triangles.
Calculating the area of circles.
Calculating the volume of a cube.
Calculating the volume of a cuboid.
Calculating the volume of a triangular prism.
Calculating the volume of a cylinder.
Answers are provided with the activity slides for ease of delivery and quick feedback.
There is a contents page that links directly to the pages you want.
Please rate/feedback. I take suggestions!
Two information texts about the same subject (volcanoes). One is significantly better written than the other. A good activity to get children to compare and contrast written text, particularly good for getting children to spot grammar features and high-level punctuation.
The details are not glaringly obvious but word choice is markedly improved in the better version, as well as more detail having been added.
A VCOP'd poster version has been included to display the features in your class.
Also excellent for getting children to summarize a text.
These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the 2017 Year Two SATs Papers for GPS.
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.

This resource specifically targets the skill of converting a fraction into a decimal and a percentage.
Children will be required to convert a fraction into a decimal using short division on the grid provided.
They will then convert that decimal into a percentage using the grid provided.
For struggling learners there is an A3 place value grid included to assist with multiplying by 100.
There is a worked example on the children's sheet.
Fully worked example answer sheet is included.
