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.
A complete bundle of Gap Analysis Grids / QLA (Reading, GPS, Spelling, Arithmetic, Reasoning 1, Reasoning 2) for the May 2017 KS2 SATs assessments. I have also included links to the papers, the mark schemes and the conversion grids within each spreadsheet.
These grids will save you many hours work and will help you quickly identify individual or whole cohort weaknesses in specific areas of the curriculum.
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.
Please remember to leave feedback as I am aiming to build a reputation as a creator who aims to save teachers time and improve their effectiveness.
Two fantastic resources.
Activity 1 - children create a bar chart from a completed tally chart. (two different versions, differentiated)
Activity 2 - children create a tally chart from a completed bar chart. (two differentiated versions)
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.
- Calculate the area of quadrilaterals including squares, rectangles, trapeziums and parallelograms.
- Calculate the area of triangles
- Calculate the area of compound shapes, including shapes with missing lengths and decimal sides.
Differentiated. Now includes a PowerPoint and pdf to help with teaching and display (found in the quadrilaterals section)
This resource contains five quick fire activities that will develop children’s understanding of place value. A pdf and word version is included so you can edit the numbers to suit your class’s ability.
The resource contains a double-sided A3 place value grid to support children who need to physically represent numbers (concrete) or practice their pictorial skills before moving on to mental abstract concepts.
Quick fire activity sheet with five activities:
1. Insert inequality symbols
2. Arrange in ascending order.
3. Arrange in descending order.
4. Explain how numbers are similar and/or different.
5. State the next two terms in a sequence.
Included in this bundle are three complete suites of Gap Analysis / Question Level Analysis grids for the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 KS2 SATs.
Every paper, every question.
Grids change colour depending on whether questions have been answered correctly and the grids auto calculate scores, indicating pass/fail or greater depth.
Please see individual resources for more details.

Applicable for the 2021-2022 WRM assessments.
This resource will save you many hours work when trying to use Assessment for Learning in your class.
There are two QLA grids included in one Excel document for help with Gap Analysis.
Arithmetic
Reasoning
Input the data using the marks from the papers and the grid will change colour to show where a child has been successful or not answered a question correctly, or at all.
The spreadsheet will auto-calculate how successful the whole cohort has been on particular questions. These are linked directly to the WRM small steps so you can see which lessons and steps need to be revised. 30 children can be entered in this document.
The total score thresholds auto-calculate and change colour to help indicate which children are working at approximately an expected standard (EXS) level or a Greater Depth (GDS) level. These thresholds use historical KS2 SATs thresholds to make them as accurate as possible.
Please note, some of the cells are locked for editing so that users do not break the spreadsheet functionality. Passwords will not be given out. However, I am more than happy to assist with any adaptations you need.
Additionally, I am in no way affiliated with White Rose Maths. No White Rose Maths resources are included in this product. Freely available content is linked to within it.
