Please see my shop for bundles.

A fantastic resource, used to great effect last year during guided written work and for GPS revision. A double sided GPS learning mat (or poster/display) that contains examples of: -Sentences written in the active and passive verb forms - Present tense - Present Progressive - Past tense - Past Progressive - Present Perfect - Present Perfect Progressive - Past Perfect - Past Perfect Progressive - Future tense - Future Progressive - Modal Verbs - Cohesive Devices - Simple sentences - Compound sentences - Complex sentences - Complex sentences that begin with a subordinate clause

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.

A four way differentiated activity/worksheet that will develop a child’s understanding of area and perimeter. This version has 1cm gridlines shown. 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

Three differentiated activity sheets/worksheets with answers included. Perfect for KS2 and KS3. Wonderful for SATs revision. Resources include: Lower ability - 6 compound shapes to find the areas of. All lengths given and shapes are already divided. Middle Ability - 8 compound shapes to find the areas of. Some lengths given and shapes are already divided. Higher Ability - 7 compound shapes to find the area of. Some lengths given (some are decimals) and the shapes are not pre-divided. Answer sheet - answers for all three activity/worksheets. Please leave feedback and visit my shop for other high-quality resources. Thank-you.

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).

11 HD photographs of a sheep heart dissection including a look at a professional dissection kit. Excellent for showing children the inside of a heart and great for stimulating debate.

Two information texts about the same subject (volcanoes). One is significantly better written than the other. A good activity to get children to compare and contrast written text, particularly good for getting children to spot grammar features and high-level punctuation. The details are not glaringly obvious but word choice is markedly improved in the better version, as well as more detail having been added. A VCOP'd poster version has been included to display the features in your class. Also excellent for getting children to summarize a text.

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. 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. 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 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.
