Millionaire Quiz! (Multiplying/Dividing by 10, 100 and 1000) - Updated!

(1)
Fun, fully interactive and challenging with working 50/50 lifelines. An excellent way to assess or embed skills. There are 15 questions, testing children's ability to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000 (including decimals). N.B The original logos for Who Wants to be a Millionaire are property of Sony Pictures Television. For this reason they have not been included, but a similar non-trademarked version has.
KS2 2016 SATs GPS SPAG Gap Analysis Grid, Question Level Analysis (QLA)

KS2 2016 SATs GPS SPAG Gap Analysis Grid, Question Level Analysis (QLA)

(1)
Please leave feedback. These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the May 2016 Year Six SATs Papers for GPS (including spelling). 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 2016 SATs with that score. If it goes Orange, it means they are within touching distance. If it goes Green with a yellow font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject. I have also included a digital document, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included 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, 2’s or 3’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 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. 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.

Street Child - Whole class guided Reading (Complete text comprehensions)

Street Child - Whole class guided Reading (Complete text comprehensions)

(1)
This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading, by domain. Domains 2b and 2d are weighted more in these comprehensions to match the weighting of the end of KS2 Reading Comprehension assessment. Included: • SATs style comprehension questions for the prologue/preface and the twenty-seven chapters of the novel. • A teaching PowerPoint with an introduction to the author, their other works and copies of the questions. This resource works best if the chapter is read, talked about and discussed in one day, then comprehension questions are given the day after. This resource has been used with both Year Five and Year Six classes to great effect and has boosted their reading skills and their comprehension scores. Please let me know if you found this resource useful. It should save you hours and hours of time.

Colour Synonym Flip-pack for desks/tables

(0)
These handy flip-packs enable children from Years 2-8 to improve their vocabulary choice within writing lessons. To create the final resource all you need to do is cut out each 'colour', laminate them and then hole punch through the hole on each laminated colour. A treasury tag can then be used to keep them all together. I have one of these on each desk my children sit at and they find them very useful. It also gets the point across that there are many ways of saying the same thing, but some ways are more impactful than others!

Name, calculate and measure angles inside right angles (differentiated) with answers

(0)
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.

Analyse Bar Charts/graphs 2 (differentiated with answers) - Two layouts

(0)
A two-way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will develop the children’s understanding of bar graphs, data handling, averages, negative numbers and data handling vocabulary. Sheet 1 - 8 Questions asking about the average temperature in three cities across four months. Sheet 2 - Questions asking about the average temperature in three cities across five months. Averages, decimals and extrapolation skills will be tested. 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.
