Maths support

On this page you will find a number of helpful resources that can support your child with their mathematical development, in addition to their daily maths tasks. 
 
 
As mentioned at the end of last term, we now have access to Times Tables Rockstars. 
 
This is a really useful tool to help engage your child in practising their timestables. 
 
A link to the website login page will be below.
 
Please contact me to retrieve your child's individual login details if you have not already got them.
 
Below are a number of links to various maths games and resources to support your child.

Year 2 Maths Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFs)

KIRFs are designed to support the development of mental maths skills that underpin much of the maths work in schools. They are particularly useful when calculating: adding; subtracting; multiplying or dividing. They contain number facts such as number bonds and times tables that need constant practice and rehearsal, so children can recall them quickly and accurately.

Each half term, children will focus on a Key Instant Recall Fact (KIRF) to practise and learn at home for the half term. They will also be available on our school website under the maths section. The KIRFs include practical ideas to assist your child in grasping the key facts and contain helpful suggestions of ways in which you could make this learning interesting and relevant. They are not designed to be a time-consuming task and can be practiced anywhere – in the car, walking to school, etc. Regular practice - little and often – helps children to retain these facts and keep their skills sharp. Throughout the half term, the KIRFs will also be practiced in school and your child’s teacher will assess whether they have been retained.

Over their time at primary school, we believe that - if the KIRFs are developed fully - children will be more confident with number work, understand its relevance, and be able to access the curriculum much more easily. They will be able to apply what they have learned to a wide range of problems that confront us regularly.
