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.

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.
Included are two activity sheets/worksheets where children need to count up in steps of two.
- Lower ability (first three numbers given, the rest relies on counting on)
- Higher Ability (sequence of eight numbers, some missing, where children will need to count on and back in order to solve the problem).
Included are two activity sheets/worksheets where children need to count up in steps of five and ten.

A complete bundle of Gap Analysis Grids / QLA (Reading, GPS, Spelling, Arithmetic, Reasoning 1, Reasoning 2) for the May 2016 KS2 SATs assessments. I have also included the actual SATs papers and their mark schemes.
These grids will save you many hours work and will help you quickly identify individual or whole cohort weaknesses in specific areas of the curriculum.
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.
Please remember to leave feedback as I am aiming to build a reputation as a creator who aims to save teachers time and improve their effectiveness.
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).
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.
A Roman Numerals activity sheet for More Able/High ability children.
They are required to turn the Roman Numeral Calculation into an 'Arabic numbers' calculation, then work out the answer and express it back in Roman Numerals.
This really gets a buzz going.
Please look at my other Roman Numerals resources, including a bundle!
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!
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.
A two-way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet for children to develop their understanding of pie charts.
Sheet 1 - 10 Questions focusing on football fans with four segments.
Sheet 2 - 8 Questions focusing on comparing two pie charts side by side. One with a sample of 100 people and one with a sample of 120 people.
Answer sheets are included for both activities. 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.
A fun, four way differentiated activity that will develop children’s understanding of areas of triangles. This version requires the children to measure each shape and use their knowledge of formulas to calculate the areas.
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.
