Complete suite of Gap Analysis/Question Level Analysis grids for the 2016 & 2017 KS2 SATs. Reading, Maths and GPS papers for each year plus links to the matching assessments.
Please read each resources page for a more detailed breakdown of the contents.
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.
This resource specifically targets the skill of converting a fraction into a decimal and a percentage.
Children will be required to convert a fraction into a decimal using short division on the grid provided.
They will then convert that decimal into a percentage using the grid provided.
For struggling learners there is an A3 place value grid included to assist with multiplying by 100.
There is a worked example on the children's sheet.
Fully worked example answer sheet is included.
This resource contains three differentiated codebreaking activities that will help you assess children's understanding of BIDMAS/BODMAS. Each activity has a detailed answer sheet with it. Furthermore, on each sheet there is an optional speed challenge - perfect for building up fluency.

Silver Level – introduces indices and square roots.
Gold Level – introduces decimals.
This activity is differentiated two ways and focuses on the skills of identifying 2D polygons and telling the difference between regular polygons and irregular polygons. Furthermore, a reasoning challenge is included to help you assess whether children understand the difference between the two groups.
An easy to interpret answer sheet has been included.
Ideal for revision, assessment or purely for fun, this fully interactive game features increasingly challenging questions including:

These are excel spreadsheet Gap Analysis documents for the 2018 Year Two SATs Papers for Maths .
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 2018 SATs with that score. If it goes Purple with a White font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject.
I have also included an instructions and document page, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included a link to 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 or 2’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.
The sheets are set up for 32 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.
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.
A complete bundle of Gap Analysis Grids / QLA (Reading, GPS, Spelling, Arithmetic, Reasoning 1, Reasoning 2) for the May 2018 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 90 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 read the description of each resource before purchasing.
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.
Designed to easily fit into an exercise book without folding, this activity sheet focuses on the national expectations for children with regards to 3D polygons. An editable version has been included for you to adapt the activity to your class, if required. Additionally, a robust answer sheet is included.
Children will need to:
-Name each 3D polygon
Identify the number of faces
Identify the number of vertices
Identify the number of edges
A massive time-saving resource that'll save you hours! Covers all the KS2 expectations for mixed numbers and improper fractions.
Five differentiated activity sheets, each differentiated four ways. Included are opportunities for children to create pictorial representations of fractions, interpret pictorial representations of fractions, practice their fluency skills, use mathematical language in reasoning responses and problem solve.
Sheet 1 - Add two mixed numbers together - WITH ANSWER SHEET
Sheet 2 - Subtract a mixed number from another mixed number. - WITH ANSWER SHEET
Sheet 3 - Convert an improper fraction into a mixed number. - WITH ANSWER SHEET
Sheet 4 - Convert a mixed number into a proper fraction. - WITH ANSWER SHEET

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.
