-Past-paper KS2 SAT questions, grouped by topic.
-I have used these for a number of years in standard maths lessons as Apply / Real life tasks. When pupils learn they’ve been doing SAT questions all along, it increases their confidence, ready for their May tests.
-All answers included as ‘Answer Sheets’ (so pupils can self-mark)
What’s included:
-2D shapes
-3D shapes
-Angles
-Area
-Coordinates and Translation
-Measurement
-Perimeter
-Tables and Timetables
-Time
-Unknown angles

24 documents created from actual Y6 SAT questions, to aid preparation for KS2 SATs.
Ideal for:
-homework (answers provided at bottom of 2nd page, however answers can be removed from document)
-booster groups
-after-school revision clubs
Tried and tested in my own classroom - 2 pages is just right for sending home as homework, or for TA interventions
Do your pupils forget their written methods almost as soon as you’ve taught them?
I created this booklet to overcome this yearly obstacle - one booklet with all written methods explained in step-by-step instructions. Each pupil in my class keeps a copy in their maths books (like a bookmark) and refers back to it if they forget their methods.
For each step, there is a short, clear explanation of what to do (and why.)
**
Great for:**
+revision
+daily use
+learning aid for LAPs / forgetful pupils
