This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master angles on a straight line.
Children are challenged to:
- name the type of angle a ‘missing angle’ is.
- calculate its size in degrees
- measure it accurately using a protractor.
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.
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.

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.
A worksheet for children to practice using and identifying expanded noun phrases. The worksheet is divided into four challenges. The third challenge mimics the style of the expanded noun phrases questions found on the 2016 GPS Sample and official SATs assessment.
This is a 4-way differentiated worksheet/activity sheet that tests children's understanding of how to add a mixed number to a proper fraction, which is tested at the end of Year Six and onwards in SATs assessments (arithmetic/reasoning) and in other end of year assessments.
There are four challenges:
-Add a mixed number to a proper fraction (same denominators).
-Add a mixed number to a proper fraction (different denominators).
-Add two mixed numbers to a proper fraction (same denominators)
-Add two mixed numbers to a proper fraction (different denominators)
At each stage, children will be expected to give their answer in its simplest form, as is standard practice in the assessed tests.
I have also included an answer sheet.
This is a two-challenge activity sheet/worksheet aimed at children in Years 5-7.
Children are asked to put fractions in ascending and descending order when their denominators are not the same. This tests their knowledge of fractions, common multiples and simplification.
An activity sheet/worksheet where children are challenged to:
- Calculate the area of squares and rectangles.
- Calculate the area of parallelograms and trapeziums.
- Solve worded problems that involve area, dimensions and money.
Suitable for a first time round activity or revision, particularly for Years 5, 6 and 7.
Editable version included. A PowerPoint/PDF has also been added to aid with the teaching of this lesson.
An editable Facebook Profile page that children can fill in with their details. After they have filled it in, a discussion about what information they’d cross out and not share with a total stranger can take place.
In the template are boxes for:
-A profile Picture
-Name
-Age
-Date of Birth
-School
-About me
-E-mail address
-Phone Number
-Places I usually visit after school
-Address
-Important Life events
Some children could also make ‘dummy’ versions of these for made up people for a classroom or corridor e-Safety/Safer Internet Display.
I have also included a pdf version of the resource for those of you who do not have Publisher.
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).
Two differentiated activity sheets for KS1 children where they need to write certain shapes, names or words in a coordinate grid.
Activity 1 - simplified instructions e.g. 'Draw a three sided shape in'
Activity 2 - harder instructions e.g. 'Draw a ___ in the cell directly under the ______'
Included are two activity sheets/worksheets where children need to count up in steps of two.
- Lower ability (first three numbers given, the rest relies on counting on)
- Higher Ability (sequence of eight numbers, some missing, where children will need to count on and back in order to solve the problem).
A Roman Numerals activity sheet for More Able/High ability children.
They are required to turn the Roman Numeral Calculation into an 'Arabic numbers' calculation, then work out the answer and express it back in Roman Numerals.
This really gets a buzz going.
Please look at my other Roman Numerals resources, including a bundle!
