Misconception SATs papers (2017) with intentional errors to correct

2017 SATs papers completed with common errors and misconceptions for pupils to mark and explain. Pupils often love playing the teacher, marking the work of someone else, and can often spot errors in another person’s work before they spot it in their own.

@adaubs91 and I completed these papers so that most of the answers will be incorrect (based on common misconceptions) or have silly errors which pupils often make. The idea is that pupils mark each question and explain the errors that have been made. We hope these are useful for you and your pupils!

I wrote a blog about why I think this can be effective process for pupils to engage with here.
