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).
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.
This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master angles around a point.
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 Mastery 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 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 four way differentiated activity/worksheet that will develop a child’s understanding of area and perimeter. This version has gridlines removed for an extra challenge. Children will need to measure the shapes (all are whole numbers)
Challenge 1 - Calculate the area and perimeter of simple quadrilaterals.
Challenge 2 - Calculate the area and perimeter of compound/composite quadrilaterals (divisions present)
Challenge 3 - Calculate the area and perimeter of compound/composite quadrilaterals (divisions removed)
Mastery Challenge - Calculate the area and perimeter of a huge, multi-compound shape and then the area of the shaded part.
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.
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 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.
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.
Without gridlines to stretch your more able.
An interactive PowerPoint and PDF file that will guide children through how to calculate perimeter, area and volume. All formulas are coloured so that children can see exactly where the numbers in the worked examples came from.
In this presentation/pdf are slides/pages about:
Calculating Perimeter
Calculating the area of squares, rectangles and parallelograms.
Calculating the area of trapeziums.
Calculating the area of triangles.
Calculating the area of circles.
Calculating the volume of a cube.
Calculating the volume of a cuboid.
Calculating the volume of a triangular prism.
Calculating the volume of a cylinder.
Answers are provided with the activity slides for ease of delivery and quick feedback.
There is a contents page that links directly to the pages you want.
Please rate/feedback. I take suggestions!

This resource contains three sets of differentiated questions that will develop children's understanding of multi-step problems. These are similar in scope to SATs questions.
Answers are provided.
An editable copy is included so that you can modify to suit your own class's needs.
A complete bundle of Gap Analysis Grids (Reading, GPS, Spelling, Arithmetic and Reasoning) for the 2016 KS1 SATs assessments. I have also included links to the papers, the mark schemes and the conversion grids within each spreadsheet.
This resource specifically targets the skill of converting a fraction into a decimal and a percentage.
Children will be required to convert a fraction into a decimal using short division on the grid provided.
They will then convert that decimal into a percentage using the grid provided.
For struggling learners there is an A3 place value grid included to assist with multiplying by 100.
There is a worked example on the children's sheet.
Fully worked example answer sheet is included.
This activity is differentiated two ways and focuses on the skills of identifying 2D polygons and telling the difference between regular polygons and irregular polygons. Furthermore, a reasoning challenge is included to help you assess whether children understand the difference between the two groups.
An easy to interpret answer sheet has been included.
This resource contains three, differentiated codebreaking activities that will help you assess children's understanding of Roman Numerals. Each activity has a detailed answer sheet with it. Furthermore, on each sheet there is an optional speed challenge - perfect for building up fluency.
Bronze level – Numerals up to 500 (D).
Silver Level – Numerals up to 1000 (M).
Gold Level – Famous years in Roman Numerals.
This resource contains three differentiated codebreaking activities that will help you assess children's understanding of multiplication. Each activity has a detailed answer sheet with it. Furthermore, on each sheet there is an optional speed challenge - perfect for building up fluency.
