For the Spring 2 term, the Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFs) are all about equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages. To practise this, we have started some of our maths lessons with a board game which we played in pairs. The rules were to roll the dice, move your counter around the board and find a fraction equivalent to match the space landed on. We had a lot of fun racing to be the first to cover all the fractions!

KIRFs are designed to support the development of the mental skills that are building blocks for maths. Each half term, children will be assessed on a new set of KIRFs which children must practise at home as well as in school. The purpose is for children to be able to recall these facts instantly. Games and activities like this equivalents board game are posted on Google Classroom for further practise at home. See the leaflet below for more details.
