Brighten up SATs revision with this great fun alternative to past papers! This Swash-buckling board game involves pupils moving around the board and answering past SATs questions in order to win treasure. This pack includes the board, the rules and 32 SATs question cards with answers (you could also add your own cards by using SATs papers in the future). The last page also invites pupils to invent their own game for the students to revise with the following year (but of course they must provide answers to the questions they set!) To play you will need to cut up the question cards (I suggest laminating them for future use) and print the board in colour for each team. I usually let the rest of the team decide if the question has been answered correctly (that way they all have to work it out!) but there is an answer sheet provided for checking if they are not sure. You will also need counters, dice and mini whiteboards.

Pupils will first investigate reflectional and rotational symmetry using masks,tile patterns, and tracing paper with options for creating portraits and skylines. Rotational Symmetry patterns can then be made using ICT, tracing paper and paper snowflakes. Pupils spend time investigating symmetry with tracing paper and mirrors and deepening their understanding by producing Art which could also be used to produce a great classroom display. Pupils then move on to answer past SATs questions on symmetry without using aids. (NB: To make full use of this resource Youtube access will be required for video tutorials. Art materials will be also required for the Art projects)
