Year 2 KIRFS

Top Tips

The secret to success is practising little and often. Use time wisely. Can you practise these KIRFs while walking to school or during a car journey? You don’t need to practise them all at once: perhaps you could have a fact of the day.

Pronunciation – Make sure that your child is pronouncing the numbers correctly and not getting confused between thirteen and thirty.

Songs and Chants – You can buy CDs or find number bond songs and chants online. If your child creates their own song, this can make them even more memorable.

Playing games can make learning number bonds fun and exciting: http://www.conkermaths.org/cmweb.nsf/products/conkerkirfs.html
