This activity will help children meet the Roman Numeral curriculum statements for Year 5 and is excellent revision for Year 6.
Included are:
- 17 questions where the children need to change Roman Numerals into Arabic Numbers (the numbers we are familiar with)
- 5 questions where they need to turn Arabic Numbers into Roman Numerals
- 6 questions where they must complete a calculation in Roman Numerals and give their answer as both Roman Numerals and Arabic Numbers - excellent for your 'More Able' learners.
.....and an answer sheet for all activities.
Activities are given as both a word document and a pdf.
Please comment/rate this resource as all feedback is valuable.
Editable differentiated data handling activity for KS1 children or lower KS2 children.
Activity 1 - children complete a tally chart (in this instance, number of letters in their classmates' names - this is editable)
Activity 2 - Create a bar chart from their data.
Lower Ability - Axes are labelled
Higher Ability - Axes are not labelled
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.
Two differentiated activity sheets for KS1 children where they need to write certain shapes, names or words in a coordinate grid.
Activity 1 - simplified instructions e.g. 'Draw a three sided shape in'
Activity 2 - harder instructions e.g. 'Draw a ___ in the cell directly under the ______'
Activity sheet where children have two put decimal numbers and whole numbers in ascending order.
There are twelve problems, each with four numbers to put into order.
Two fantastic resources.
Activity 1 - children create a bar chart from a completed tally chart. (two different versions, differentiated)
Activity 2 - children create a tally chart from a completed bar chart. (two differentiated versions)
GPS questions to help a child reach the expected standard for the end of Key Stage 2. Included for every question is a mark scheme and examiner notes.
Types of skills tested in this set:
-Ticking sentences that are written using CSE
- Inserting words to make a sentence CSE
- Circling words that would make a sentence CSE
- Correcting errors
- ...and more!
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!
Perfect for meeting the requirements of KS2.
- Find missing angles in right angles
- Find missing angles on a straight line
- Find missing angles around a point
- Find missing opposite angles
- Calculate interior/exterior angles of polygons
-Name, calculate and measure using a protractor
Huge saving!
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.

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.
Included in this detailed bundle:
Bar charts (including answers)
Line graphs (including answers)
Pie Charts (including answers)
Tally Charts
A massive time saver! Please see individual files for details.

11 HD photographs of a sheep heart dissection including a look at a professional dissection kit.
Excellent for showing children the inside of a heart and great for stimulating debate.
This resource pack includes a everything you need for the children to have a go at writing a high-level Newspaper. Included is:
- An example modeled newspaper article, complete with headline, text, pictures, advertisement and Year Six standard Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (in pdf and .doc format)
- A blank template. I've set this so that the text automatically flows into the other text boxes as children write more. This will save a lot of teacher time in lessons. Helpful to allow a bit more independence!
Please give feedback or rate this resource. I also take requests.
Two information texts about the same subject (volcanoes). One is significantly better written than the other. A good activity to get children to compare and contrast written text, particularly good for getting children to spot grammar features and high-level punctuation.
The details are not glaringly obvious but word choice is markedly improved in the better version, as well as more detail having been added.
A VCOP'd poster version has been included to display the features in your class.
Also excellent for getting children to summarize a text.
These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the 2017 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 2017 SATs with that score. 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 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, 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 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.
