To help develop children’s fluency in mathematics, we ask them to learn Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFs) each half term.

We expect children to practise their KIRFs regularly, at least 3 times a week at home to support their learning in school.

By the end of each half term, the aim and expectation is that ALL our pupils achieve and will be able to instantly recall these facts to support their mathematical fluency in class.

Some KIRFs have facts to learn in blue. These are the next steps for children who have mastered the expected facts and who enjoy a challenge. All facts in black must be mastered before moving on to blue ones.

There are some ideas to help you on each sheet but please ask your class teacher if you need any more ideas to help you practise them at home. They can be completed during the walk to school or over breakfast in the morning; it doesn’t need to be a long, formal session of learning or a large time commitment.

Please fing the complete document below. We have also separated the document to make it easier to find each half termly key facts. Please follow the shortcuts below to see key facts for each year group.
