Key Instant Recall Facts
Year 1 – Autumn 1
I know number bonds for each number to 6.
By the end of this half term, children should know the following facts. The aim is for them to recall these facts instantly.
0+1=1
1+0=1
0+2=2
1+1=2
2+0=2
0+3=3
1+2 =3
2+1=3
3+0=3
0+4=4
1+3=4
2+2=4
3+1=4
4+0=4
0+5=5
1+4=5
2+3=5
3+2=5
4+1=5
5+0=5
0+6=6
1+5=6
2+4=6
3+3=6
4+2=6
5+1=6
6+0=6
Key Vocabulary
What is 3 add 2?
What is 2 plus 2?
What is 5 take away 2?
What is 1 less than 4?
They should be able to answer these questions in any order, including missing number questions e.g. 3 + ⃝ = 5 or 4 – ⃝ =
2.
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. If you would like more ideas, please
speak to your child’s teacher.
Use practical resources – Your child has one potato on their plate and you give them three more. Can they predict how many they will
have now?
Make a poster – We use Numicon at school. You can find pictures of the Numicon shapes here: bit.ly/NumiconPictures – your child
could make a poster showing the different ways of making 5.
Play games – You can play number bond pairs online at www.conkermaths.com and then see how many questions you can answer in
just one minute.

Religious Education
Religious Education does not form part of
the National Curriculum, but remains
statutory. Schools should continue to
follow the locally-agreed syllabus
Citizenship & PSHE
Citizenship and PSHE are not statutory
subjects in primary schools. Schools are
free to choose what content is taught in
these subjects.
