This is the first of several exam-style reading comprehensions taken from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations.
The extract (approximately 1200 words taken from the first chapter) is the episode where the 7-year-old Pip first meets Abel Magwitch in the graveyard where Pip’s parents are buried.
The test paper consists of 14 questions of varying difficulty. The allotted marks for each question are shown. There are 30 marks available in total.
A mark scheme is provided.
The resource consists of six sets of worksheets to support the teaching of subtraction using written methods. They are ideal for independent work in class, and there are enough for homework and revision purposes. The different levels of difficulty allow for a high level of differentiation by ability.
The folders are organised as follows:
2 digit subtraction with no regrouping/borrowing (x5)
3 digit subtraction with no regrouping/borrowing (x5)
4 digit subtraction with no regrouping/borrowing (x5)
2 digit subtraction with regrouping/borrowing (x5)
3 digit subtraction with regrouping/borrowing (x5)
