Two differentiated activity sheets where children are required to recognise 2D shapes.
Lower Ability - Ten shapes that need to be matched to their names.
Higher Ability - Twelve shapes on a sheet that children need to name (no names given to match).
A two-way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will develop the children’s understanding of bar graphs, data handling, averages and data handling vocabulary.
Sheet 1 - 8 Questions asking about the warmest/coldest months, difference in temperature between months. There are two data sets on the graph (two lines, same axes)
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.
This activity will enable children to have a deeper understanding of percentages off amounts or quantities - a key skill in life.
Included is:
- A pdf version of the questions and answers
- A .doc version of the questions and answers so that you can edit the questions to meet your class' individual needs.
Twenty-five wordsearches covering every spelling pattern found in the National Curriculum for Years 2-6.

A complete bundle of Gap Analysis Grids / QLA (Reading, GPS, Spelling, Arithmetic, Reasoning 1, Reasoning 2) for the May 2016 KS2 SATs assessments. I have also included the actual SATs papers and their mark schemes.
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.
