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.
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 – Your children 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.

Song and chants – You can multiplication sings and chants online. If your child creates their
own song, this can make the times tables even more memorable.
Use what you already know – If your child knows that 2x5=10, they can use this fact to
work out that 2x6=12.
Test the parent – Your child can make up their own tricky division questions for you e.g.
What is 18 divided by 2? They need to be able to multiply to create these questions.
Use memory tricks – For those hard-to-remember facts, www.multiplication.com has some
strange picture stories to help children remember.

Buy one get three free – If your child knows one fact (e.g. 3x5=15), can they tell you the other three
facts in the same fact family?
Warning – When creating fact families, children sometimes get confused by the order of the
numbers in the division number sentence. It is tempting to say that the biggest number goes first,
but it is more helpful to say that the answer to the multiplication goes first, as this will help your
child more in later years when they study fractions, decimals and algebra.
E.g. 3x12=36. The answer to the multiplication is 36, so 36÷3=12 and 36÷12=3.

Double your threes - Multiplying a number by 6 is the same as multiplying by 3 and then doubling
the answer. 7x3=21 and double 21 is 42, so 7x6=42.

Speed challenge - Take two packs of playing cards and remove the kings. Turn over two
cards and ask your child to multiply the numbers together (Ace=1, Jack=11, Queen=12).

I can identify common factors of a pair of numbers.
By the end of this term, children should know the following facts. The aim is for them to
recall these facts instantly.
The factors of a number are all numbers which divide it with no remainder.
E.g. the factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.
Key vocabulary
The common factors of two numbers are the numbers they share.
E.g. the common factors of 24 and 56 are 1, 2, 4 and 8.
The greatest common factor of 248 and 56 is 8.
factor
common factor
multiple
greatest common factor
Children should be able to explain how they know that a number is a common factor.
E.g. 8 is a common factor of 24 and 56 because 24=8x3 and 56=8x7.
