Key Instant Recall Facts

To help develop children’s fluency in mathematics, we ask them to learn Key Instant Recall Facts each half term (for Year 1 this starts in Term 2).

Children should aim to practise their KIRFs at least 3 times a week.

Please see attached this term’s list of KIRFs which are aligned to the new maths curriculum. They are intended to be challenging and where possible the children will be taught the necessary maths in lessons beforehand.

If you have any questions about how to help your child with these at home please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Children should get a standard amount correct (e.g. 18 out of 20, 28 out of 30, 48 out of 50) twice before moving on.
