KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) are designed to develop the rapid mental maths skills that underpin much of the mathematics taught in school. Having a secure recall of key facts helps children become more confident and efficient when adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.

As part of their maths homework, children will practise their KIRFs through short, practical activities that are most effective when completed regularly for a few minutes each day.

Each half term, your child will be given a new KIRFs target. Weekly activity cards containing ideas and games will then be sent home to help them practise and build confidence with these key skills.

Once your child has completed an activity, please sign and date their homework folder. This helps us to celebrate their efforts and monitor their engagement with KIRFs practice at home.

Please see the documents below for an overview of each half term's KIRFs targets.
