Continent/s?
Approximately how many people live there?

A free trial of the many Millionaire Quiz resources available in my shop, featuring music, lifelines and sound effects.
These versions of the quiz are easily the best available and feature failscreens, sound effects and all the tension of the TV show.

Please note, not all versions of the paid-for resources contain functioning lifelines - these will be changed as time goes on. Please read the descriptions for each or message me for clarity.

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.

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.
