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.
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 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!

A two-way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet for children to develop their understanding of pie charts.
Sheet 1 - 10 Questions focusing on football fans with four segments.
Sheet 2 - 8 Questions focusing on comparing two pie charts side by side. One with a sample of 100 people and one with a sample of 120 people.
Answer sheets are included for both activities. I have provided two different layouts which also add to the challenge. One has a wider line graph set, the other has a narrower set. This will test children’s adaptability to varying presentations.

A 4-way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will develop children's understanding of rounding to the nearest hundred or thousand.
Challenges include:
Challenge 1 - Use a pre-made numberline to help you round the following numbers to the level of accuracy in the brackets.
Challenge 2 - Draw a place value grid or numberline to help you round the following numbers to the level of accuracy in the brackets.
Challenge 3 - Draw a number line that goes from 0 to 10,000. Indicate, with a labelled arrow, where the following numbers are placed.
Challenge 4 – Worded Problem
Answer sheet included, as well as an editable version so you can adapt to your own class.
This resource contains an editable A3-sized Place Value grid that is colourful and large enough to put counters on for a fun, practical (concrete) Maths activity. I currently have 30 of these laminated for use.
One side has the place value columns written in words and the other as numerals.
The PowerPoint that accompanies this is perfect for input and covers:
- Reading numbers expressed on a place value grid.
- Writing numbers expressed as counters.
- Recognising what happens when we shift counters left and right.
- and more…
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.
Ideal for a whole class fun, interactive game, or this file can be saved in a shared area for children to practice with on their laptops or tablets.
Fully interactive spinners and ‘random’ number generators.
Broken down into small steps.
15 different spinners.
Instructions
This is a 4-way differentiated worksheet/activity sheet that tests children's understanding of how to add a mixed number to a proper fraction, which is tested at the end of Year Six and onwards in SATs assessments (arithmetic/reasoning) and in other end of year assessments.
There are four challenges:
-Add a mixed number to a proper fraction (same denominators).
-Add a mixed number to a proper fraction (different denominators).
-Add two mixed numbers to a proper fraction (same denominators)
-Add two mixed numbers to a proper fraction (different denominators)
At each stage, children will be expected to give their answer in its simplest form, as is standard practice in the assessed tests.
I have also included an answer sheet.
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.

Sheet 2 - 8 Questions focusing more on averages and trends. There are three data sets on the same axes. Completely different questions.
Answers are provided for both sheets. I have provided two different layouts which also add to the challenge. One has a wider line graph set, the other has a narrower set. This will test children’s adaptability to varying presentations.
