Starter Cards – SHAPE ,SPACE and MEASURE

Introduction

These cards are designed to be used as mental and oral starters at Key Stages 2 to 4

Ideally they should be laminated with the sample key questions on the back

Please add key questions of your own and adapt the cards to reflect the ability of your students
