Find sum of interior angles, size of each interior angle, size of each exterior angle for polygons

Find sum of interior angles, size of each interior angle, size of each exterior angle for polygons

(0)
This is an activity that will challenge all children in a class. Suitable for Years 5-8 (depending on ability). To complete this activity children will need to: - recall the number of sides for polygons down to a dodecagon - use algebra to calculate the sum of the interior angles for each shape - find the size of each interior angle using logic (division) - calculate the size of each exterior angle (180 - interior angle = exterior angle) This will get the room buzzing and you'll see your children using many skills during the same lesson. I have colour banded the activity four ways: -Blue (easiest) -White (Middle) - Green (challenging) - Purple (Mastery) Please comment on and rate this resource.

Name, calculate and measure angles on a straight line (differentiated)

(0)
This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master angles on a straight line. Children are challenged to: - name the type of angle a ‘missing angle’ is. - calculate its size in degrees - measure it accurately using a protractor. 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.

(0)
This activity will help children meet the Roman Numeral curriculum statements for Year 5 and is excellent revision for Year 6. Included are: - 17 questions where the children need to change Roman Numerals into Arabic Numbers (the numbers we are familiar with) - 5 questions where they need to turn Arabic Numbers into Roman Numerals - 6 questions where they must complete a calculation in Roman Numerals and give their answer as both Roman Numerals and Arabic Numbers - excellent for your 'More Able' learners. .....and an answer sheet for all activities. Activities are given as both a word document and a pdf. Please comment/rate this resource as all feedback is valuable.
KS2 2016 SATs Reading Gap Analysis Grid / Question Level Analysis (QLA)

KS2 2016 SATs Reading Gap Analysis Grid / Question Level Analysis (QLA)

(0)
These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the May 2016 Year Six SATs Papers for Reading . 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 2016 SATs with that score. If it goes Orange, it means they are within touching distance. 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 a digital document, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included 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 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. 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.

Analyse Line Graphs/Charts (Differentiated with answer sheet) - Two layouts

(0)
A two-way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will develop the children’s understanding of line graphs, data handling, averages and data handling vocabulary. Sheet 1 - 8 Questions asking about the warmest/coldest months, difference in temperature between months. There are two data sets on the graph (two lines, same axes) Sheet 2 - 8 Questions focusing more on averages and trends. There are three data sets on the same axes. Completely different questions. 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.

Compare diary entries (KS2)

Compare diary entries (KS2)

(0)
Two diary entries based on the same event (visiting the new school wildlife/garden area) One is basically written with very little attempt at adding detail, high-level punctuation and complex sentences. The other is of end of KS2 Standard. I used this activity to get the children to realize that as teachers, we see pieces of text about the same event but the quality of the texts varies drastically. Which would they rather be writing? Which would I rather be reading? Why? Explain why one is better than the other. Files are uploaded as Publisher, PDF and Word.
