A complete bundle of Gap Analysis Grids / QLA (Reading, GPS, Spelling, Arithmetic, Reasoning 1, Reasoning 2) for the May 2016 KS2 SATs assessments. I have also included the actual SATs papers and their mark schemes.
These grids will save you many hours work and will help you quickly identify individual or whole cohort weaknesses in specific areas of the curriculum.
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.
Please remember to leave feedback as I am aiming to build a reputation as a creator who aims to save teachers time and improve their effectiveness.
This is a 4-way differentiated rounding activity sheet/worksheet that will help children master rounding.
The four challenges are:
-Round the to the nearest ten.
-Round to the nearest hundred and thousand
-Round to the nearest ten thousand and hundred thousand
-Round to the nearest tenth and hundredth
These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the 2016 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 2016 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.
This activity is differentiated two ways and focuses on the skills of identifying 2D polygons and telling the difference between regular polygons and irregular polygons. Furthermore, a reasoning challenge is included to help you assess whether children understand the difference between the two groups.
An easy to interpret answer sheet has been included.
This resource contains three, differentiated codebreaking activities that will help you assess children's understanding of Roman Numerals. Each activity has a detailed answer sheet with it. Furthermore, on each sheet there is an optional speed challenge - perfect for building up fluency.
Bronze level – Numerals up to 500 (D).
Silver Level – Numerals up to 1000 (M).
Gold Level – Famous years in Roman Numerals.
A bundle containing high-quality PowerPoint and Smart Notebook questions set out exactly like the KS2 Paper 1 - Arithmetic. Using the built-in pen software of PowerPoint or Smart Notebook, you can model how to answer the questions effectively.
189 questions in total, each sub-sectioned into sub-domains so that you can easily identify areas for development for your cohort. Alternatively, you can focus on a specific aspect of fractions, decimals and percentages across a series of lessons.
331 questions that cover every element of the KS2 Maths Arithmetic Paper 1.
Addition, Subtraction and Order of Operations
Multiplication and Division
Fractions
Decimals
Percentages
All are presented on a fully-editable PowerPoint, and on Smart Notebook files.
Ideal for a whole class fun, interactive game, or this file can be saved in a shared area for children to practice with on their laptops or tablets.
Fully interactive spinners and ‘random’ number generators.
Broken down into small steps.
15 different spinners.

There are two QLA grids included in one Excel document for help with Gap Analysis.
Arithmetic
Reasoning
Input the data using the marks from the papers and the grid will change colour to show where a child has been successful or not answered a question correctly, or at all.
The spreadsheet will auto-calculate how successful the whole cohort has been on particular questions. These are linked directly to the WRM small steps so you can see which lessons and steps need to be revised. 30 children can be entered in this document.
The total score thresholds auto-calculate and change colour to help indicate which children are working at approximately an expected standard (EXS) level or a Greater Depth (GDS) level. These thresholds use historical KS2 SATs thresholds to make them as accurate as possible.
Please note, some of the cells are locked for editing so that users do not break the spreadsheet functionality. Passwords will not be given out. However, I am more than happy to assist with any adaptations you need.
Additionally, I am in no way affiliated with White Rose Maths. No White Rose Maths resources are included in this product. Freely available content is linked to within it.
Applicable for the 2021-2022 WRM assessments.

Two differentiated sheets for KS2 children whose aim is to calculate the area of triangles.
Activity Sheet 1 - Triangles with whole number length sides, easier lengths.
Activity Sheet 2 - Triangles with challenging length sides, including decimals. Short/Long multiplication skills will be required.
Answer Sheet - Answers for both activities.
I have included PDF versions and Word Document versions for those of you who may want to edit the activity sheets for your own children’s needs.
Please visit my shop for other differentiated Maths resources.

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…

Activity sheet where children have two put decimal numbers and whole numbers in ascending order.
There are twelve problems, each with four numbers to put into order.
Fun, fully interactive and challenging with working 50/50 lifelines. An excellent way to assess or embed skills.
There are 15 questions, testing children's ability to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000 (including decimals).
N.B The original logos for Who Wants to be a Millionaire are property of Sony Pictures Television. For this reason they have not been included, but a similar non-trademarked version has.
Suitable for Years 5-7, this worksheet challenges children to use their knowledge of substitution to find the value of an equation.
Instead of the usual 'a', 'b', 'c' etc, this activity asks children to find the value of equations that contain snowmen, angels, presents, santas etc.
Included are two activity sheets/worksheets where children need to count up in steps of two.
- Lower ability (first three numbers given, the rest relies on counting on)
- Higher Ability (sequence of eight numbers, some missing, where children will need to count on and back in order to solve the problem).
