Complete suite of Gap Analysis grids for the 2016 , 2017 & 2018 KS1 SATs. Reading, Maths and GPS papers for each year plus links to the matching assessments.
Please read each resources page for a more detailed breakdown of the contents.
Ideal for a whole class fun, interactive game, or this file can be saved in a shared area for children to practice with on their laptops or tablets.
Fully interactive spinners and ‘random’ number generators.
Broken down into small steps.
15 different spinners.
Instructions
Applicable for the 2021-2022 WRM assessments.
This resource will save you many hours work when trying to use Assessment for Learning in your class.
There are two QLA grids included in one Excel document for help with Gap Analysis.
Arithmetic
Reasoning
Input the data using the marks from the papers and the grid will change colour to show where a child has been successful or not answered a question correctly, or at all.
The spreadsheet will auto-calculate how successful the whole cohort has been on particular questions. These are linked directly to the WRM small steps so you can see which lessons and steps need to be revised. 30 children can be entered in this document.
The total score thresholds auto-calculate and change colour to help indicate which children are working at approximately an expected standard (EXS) level or a Greater Depth (GDS) level. These thresholds use historical KS2 SATs thresholds to make them as accurate as possible.
Please note, some of the cells are locked for editing so that users do not break the spreadsheet functionality. Passwords will not be given out. However, I am more than happy to assist with any adaptations you need.
Additionally, I am in no way affiliated with White Rose Maths. No White Rose Maths resources are included in this product. Freely available content is linked to within it.

Perfect for a Maths coordinator looking to have detailed discussions with class teachers about the specific strengths and areas for development for a whole cohort or individual children, these QLA/Gap Analysis grids for each of the White Rose Maths Autumn term assessments will help you support teachers to draw accurate and impactful conclusions from their assessment data.
So far these resources have been used:
To plan revision for a whole class.
To plan interventions for children
In pupil progress meetings to indicate areas for development.

A complete bundle of Gap Analysis Grids / QLA (Reading, GPS, Spelling, Arithmetic and Reasoning) for the 2023 KS1 SATs assessments. I have also included links to the papers, the mark schemes and the conversion grids within each spreadsheet.
Please read the description of each individual resource for more information.
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.
A fun three way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will help children develop an understanding of how to calculate the area of parallelograms and trapeziums, as well as compound/composite polygons.
Challenge 1 - Calculate the area of simple polygons using a grid.
Challenge 2 - Calculate the area of compound/composite polygons using a grid.
Mastery Challenge - Calculate the area of a large, multi-polygon compound/composite polygon using a grid.
Updated to include an interactive PowerPoint and PDFs of the slides for display purposes…more value than before!
A fun three way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will help children develop an understanding of how to calculate the area of parallelograms and trapeziums, as well as compound/composite polygons.
Challenge 1 - Measure and calculate the area of simple polygons.
Challenge 2 - Measure and calculate the area of compound/composite polygons.
Mastery Challenge - Measure and calculate the area of a large, multi-polygon compound/composite polygon.
A fun, four way differentiated activity that will develop children’s understanding of areas of triangles. This version has a 1cm grid backing to help children calculate the area without the need to measure.
Challenge 1 - Calculate area of triangles.
Challenge 2 - Calculate the area of compound polygons (triangles and rectangles)
Challenge 3 - Calculate the area of compound polygons (triangles, rectangles, trapeziums and parallelograms)
Mastery Challenge - Calculate the area of a large, multi-compound shape made up of many different polygons.
A whole weeks worth of differentiated work!
- Calculate area of triangles.
- Calculate area of parallelograms and trapeziums.
- Calculate area of compound/composite polygons.
- Calculate the perimeter of polygons.
All with 1cm gridlines to help reinforce strategies.
Included in this resource are three differentiated activity sheets for children to use to develop their understanding of the column method for addition and subtraction, short and long multiplication, mental division, short division and long division. All activity sheets have contextual problems to attempt.
Answer sheets are included and an editable version of each sheet is included so that you can tailor each activity to your own cohort.
There are four challenges per sheet, designed to be completed in a single lesson.
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.
Included are two activity sheets/worksheets where children need to count up and back in number sequences
- Lower ability (first three numbers given, the rest relies on counting on in 2, 3, 5 etc)
- Higher Ability (sequence of eight numbers, some missing, where children will need to count on and back in order to solve the problem).
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 ______'
