These are excel spreadsheet Gap Analysis documents for the 2018 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 2018 SATs with that score. If it goes Purple with a White 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 or 2’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.

This resource contains an editable A3-sized Place Value grid that is colourful and large enough to put counters on for a fun, practical (concrete) Maths activity. I currently have 30 of these laminated for use.
One side has the place value columns written in words and the other as numerals.
The PowerPoint that accompanies this is perfect for input and covers:
- Reading numbers expressed on a place value grid.
- Writing numbers expressed as counters.
- Recognising what happens when we shift counters left and right.
- and more…
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.
