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.
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 ______'
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.
Please rate and/or comment. All feedback is valuable.
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.

This fully interactive high-quality gameshow features all the drama of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire TV show.
A fun fully-interactive way, with working 50/50 lifelines, to assess and embed knowledge of measurement.
-converting between units
How much longer than… is…?
-Which of these units is the odd one out? etc.
Can be used as an individual activity or as a whole class plenary.
Each possible answer is linked to either a pass or fail screen indicating the amount of money ‘won’. A free trial of my best-in-class version is available here:

N.B The original logos for Who Wants to be a Millionaire are property of Sony Pictures Television. For this reason they have not been included, but a similar non-trademarked version has. The music is also not copyrighted.
Resource includes:
Number Bonds to 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100.
Fully interactive.
Greater Depth challenges for children who are fast graspers.
2, 5 and 10 times tables spinners included.
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)

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.
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.
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.

Calculating the area of trapeziums.
Calculating the area of triangles.
Calculating the area of circles.
Calculating the volume of a cube.

UPDATED DUE TO FEEDBACK
This is an excel spreadsheet document for the Gov.uk Year Six Sample Papers for Reading, Mathematics (Arithmetic, Reasoning 1 & 2), GPS and Spelling Papers. 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.
The spreadsheet is broken down into six pages. Arithmetic, Reasoning 1, Reasoning 2, Reading, GPS and Spelling.
I have also included a digital copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score. These can be found inside the .Zip file.
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.
*You are paying for the gap analysis grids, not the freely available tests I have included which can be found at Gov.uk.*
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.
Please remember to rate and/or comment on this resource. Your feedback is appreciated.
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.
