This is one of my most poplar worksheets turned into a lesson I find very effective. I give the students a card each with either a picture definition or a worded definition.

I stop them at regular intervals and get them to tell me something they have learning. They then use this knowledge to fill in the properties sheet.

This is a starter activity I use with my lower sets and would be perfect with KS1/2 also. The idea is to have it as a mental addition activity but can be used in as many ways as you can think of :)
