Part of a series of assessment sheets for KS1/2 produced by David
Warbrick. David explains: A single 2 sided A4 sheet for each of
the QCA units of work- there are 3 expected levels of outcome- Most
children will..... Some children will do better and...... Some
children will not do as well and....... The reverse of the sheet
contains the "small steps" the learning objectives for the scheme as
a means of recording the achievements of those children who didn't
achieve the expected outcomes.
You can find further details and the whole set of sheets at
David's website.

Time calc |
MS Excel thinks all time data are times of day or dates and so has
trouble adding or averaging time measurements. Here's a spreadsheet
that can. It totals and averages a series of times in minutes and
seconds (eg data from an experiment). The sheet will handle two sets
of data so you could, for instance, compare averages for boys and
girls. (by Mike Freedman) |
