Three famous poems and reading comprehension questions to go with them. Questions include question types found in the 2016 and 2017 SATs papers or in End of Year assessments. Poem 1 - You are old, Father William - Lewis Carroll Poem 2 - Sick - Shel Silverstein Poem 3 - Mary’s Lamb - Sarah Josepha Hale I have used these as whole class exercises and for specific groups in guided reading to great effect.

This resource contains three differentiated codebreaking activities that will help you assess children's understanding of multiplication. Each activity has a detailed answer sheet with it. Furthermore, on each sheet there is an optional speed challenge - perfect for building up fluency. Bronze level – Short Multiplication Silver Level – Long Multiplication Gold Level –Long multiplication with decimals

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.

These are excel spreadsheet Gap Analysis documents for the May 2016 Year Six SATs Papers for Reading, Mathematics (Arithmetic, Reasoning 1 & 2), GPS and Spelling Papers. 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 2016 SATs with that score. If it goes Orange, it means they are within touching distance. If it goes Green with a yellow font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject. There are three spreadsheet documents. One for Reading, one for Maths, and one for GPS. They are broken down into individual papers inside. I have also included a digital document, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included 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. Last academic year I used these grids to provide targeted feedback and to spot trends. As a result my class were well over National Average for all subjects (much to my relief!) 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.

GPS questions to help a child reach the expected standard for the end of Key Stage 2. Included for every question is a mark scheme and examiner notes. Types of skills tested in this set: -Ticking sentences that are written using CSE - Inserting words to make a sentence CSE - Circling words that would make a sentence CSE - Correcting errors - ...and more!

These handy flip-packs enable children from Years 2-8 to improve their vocabulary choice within writing lessons. To create the final resource all you need to do is cut out each 'colour', laminate them and then hole punch through the hole on each laminated colour. A treasury tag can then be used to keep them all together. I have one of these on each desk my children sit at and they find them very useful. It also gets the point across that there are many ways of saying the same thing, but some ways are more impactful than others!

This activity will help children meet the Roman Numeral curriculum statements for Year 5 and is excellent revision for Year 6. Included are: - 17 questions where the children need to change Roman Numerals into Arabic Numbers (the numbers we are familiar with) - 5 questions where they need to turn Arabic Numbers into Roman Numerals - 6 questions where they must complete a calculation in Roman Numerals and give their answer as both Roman Numerals and Arabic Numbers - excellent for your 'More Able' learners. .....and an answer sheet for all activities. Activities are given as both a word document and a pdf. Please comment/rate this resource as all feedback is valuable.

This is a two page document about Myths, Legends and Folk Tales, covering the difference between the three and definitions of what each are. Excellent as an activity to get children to summarise the three different types of story or good as reading comprehension.

This is an activity that will challenge all children in a class. Suitable for Years 5-8 (depending on ability). To complete this activity children will need to: - recall the number of sides for polygons down to a dodecagon - use algebra to calculate the sum of the interior angles for each shape - find the size of each interior angle using logic (division) - calculate the size of each exterior angle (180 - interior angle = exterior angle) This will get the room buzzing and you'll see your children using many skills during the same lesson. I have colour banded the activity four ways: -Blue (easiest) -White (Middle) - Green (challenging) - Purple (Mastery) Please comment on and rate this resource.

The sheets are set up for 30 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. If you wish to have a complete set of gap grids for the 2016 SATs, they are available as one package in my shop at a bundled, cheaper price. 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.

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).

Editable differentiated data handling activity for KS1 children or lower KS2 children. Activity 1 - children complete a tally chart (in this instance, number of letters in their classmates' names - this is editable) Activity 2 - Create a bar chart from their data. Lower Ability - Axes are labelled Higher Ability - Axes are not labelled

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!

Fantastic investigations for all groups of children, exploring the rules for odd and even numbers. - High ability document - What happens when you add an odd number to an odd number, an even to an even, an even to an odd...what about multiplication? - This activity is differentiated seven ways with a summary/results page for the children to complete at the end. The children really love this! - Lower Ability Document - Find all odd/even numbers between two numbers, find the next even number, find the previous odd number etc.

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.

Activity sheet where children have two put decimal numbers and whole numbers in ascending order. There are twelve problems, each with four numbers to put into order.

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 five and ten. - 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).

This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master angles around a point. 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 Mastery 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.
