KIRFs

At Gisburn Road we expect all children to try their best to learn their KIRFs. KIRFs or Key Instant Recall Facts are maths facts that children need to know in order to progress quickly in maths. Examples of KIRFs are knowing number facts or number bonds, halves and doubles and 2x, 5x and 10x tables.
