I regularly upload resources that I have created during 30 years as a teacher. Most of these are maths, but there are some ICT/Computing and Tutor Time activities. All of the resources are my own and are not available from third-parties. The resources have been tweaked over time and I have had many happy lessons and shed-loads of happy and successful students.
At the end of 2017 the TES announced that I was the most downloaded new author and in 2018 another 2 million were added to the count.

Questions develop so that in the latter questions, surface area has to be found from a known volume. The last question should keep even the most able students busy for a while :-)

Click 👉 tes.com/…/KS2-Maths-Questions… for similar-style compilations on the other KS2 topics.<hr>This particular compilation is from the GEOMETRY strand and contains questions about angles and lines. At the start students have to identify parallel and perpendicular lines as well as types of angle (acute, obtuse), the later questions require the accurate calculation of angles using standard angle facts (straight-line, around a point, triangle and quadrilateral).<hr>I have designed this compilation to be printed as an A4 or A5 booklet which is in the style of the actual SATs papers and is convenient for use in class or as homework. It can even be given to individual students if a parent is asking for ‘some more work’!
KEY POINTS:
I have provided full answers, with comments and working where helpful.
I have maintained the style of the actual SATs questions so that students can become comfortable with the way that SATs questions are presented.
Most of the questions are from actual SATs papers, but I have also added questions so that this resource matches the requirements the current curriculum better than the older resources that are still in common use (note that many of the older resources of this type contain questions on topics which are no longer examined).
I have spent a lot of time arranging the questions so that there is a general increase in difficulty as students work through them, and so that they fit on the pages better – this means less wasted space and significant paper-saving when printing 😃

This activity is designed for KS2 and KS3 students, but it is also a very good activity to do with GCSE foundation students. It gets them working out the costs of gifts, meals and other outings for Valentine's Day. Questions are varied and include a bit of proportion and a few straightforward percentages.
Note that the answers to this activity produce an encrypted phrase. When the questions have been answered, the students should decipher this phrase.
An further (non-maths) extension can be for students to identify who the couples are and why they are famous!
