These are excel spreadsheet Gap Analysis documents for the 2023 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 2023 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 30 or 60 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.
This resource is three activity sheets/worksheets bundled together to reinforce children's understanding of negative numbers in a word problem setting.
-One sheet for the Lower Ability
-One sheet for the Middle Ability
-One sheet for Higher Ability
Answer sheets included.
An activity sheet/worksheet where children are challenged to:
- Calculate the area of squares and rectangles.
- Calculate the area of parallelograms and trapeziums.
- Solve worded problems that involve area, dimensions and money.
Suitable for a first time round activity or revision, particularly for Years 5, 6 and 7.
Editable version included. A PowerPoint/PDF has also been added to aid with the teaching of this lesson.
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.

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 resource is perfect for providing high-quality lessons for multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000.
The two activity sheets are each differentiated four ways and are designed to help you assess children’s abilities when presented with problems focused on various aspects of this National Curriculum Statement.
I have also included an editable A3 place value grid which will support less able children with some of the easier challenges.
Furthermore, if you wish to have a fun plenary or assessment game for this topic, I also have created an excellent, fully interactive Millionaire Quiz game that is tried, tested and well loved which is available here:

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.
This resource contains five quick fire activities that will develop children’s understanding of place value. A pdf and word version is included so you can edit the numbers to suit your class’s ability.
The resource contains a double-sided A3 place value grid to support children who need to physically represent numbers (concrete) or practice their pictorial skills before moving on to mental abstract concepts.
Quick fire activity sheet with five activities:
1. Insert inequality symbols
2. Arrange in ascending order.
3. Arrange in descending order.
4. Explain how numbers are similar and/or different.
5. State the next two terms in a sequence.
Ideal for revision, assessment or purely for fun, this fully interactive game features increasingly challenging questions including:
- Scale
- Recipes (quantities, mass etc.)
- Calculating a proportion
- Calculating a ratio
- Determining a total
- ...and more!
