Name, calculate and measure angles on a straight line (differentiated)

Name, calculate and measure angles on a straight line (differentiated)

(0)
This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master angles on a straight line. Children are challenged to: - name the type of angle a ‘missing angle’ is. - calculate its size in degrees - measure it accurately using a protractor. 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.
Find sum of interior angles, size of each interior angle, size of each exterior angle for polygons
GalvaniseEDUGalvaniseEDU

Find sum of interior angles, size of each interior angle, size of each exterior angle for polygons

(0)
This is an activity that will challenge all children in a class. Suitable for Years 5-8 (depending on ability). To complete this activity children will need to: - recall the number of sides for polygons down to a dodecagon - use algebra to calculate the sum of the interior angles for each shape - find the size of each interior angle using logic (division) - calculate the size of each exterior angle (180 - interior angle = exterior angle) This will get the room buzzing and you'll see your children using many skills during the same lesson. I have colour banded the activity four ways: -Blue (easiest) -White (Middle) - Green (challenging) - Purple (Mastery) Please comment on and rate this resource.

Add Mixed Numbers/Mixed Fractions to proper fractions (Differentiated) + answer sheet

(0)
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.

KS2 2016 SATs Reading Gap Analysis Grid / Question Level Analysis (QLA)
GalvaniseEDUGalvaniseEDU

KS2 2016 SATs Reading Gap Analysis Grid / Question Level Analysis (QLA)

(0)
These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the May 2016 Year Six SATs Papers for Reading . 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.
