Functional Skills Maths: Practice

Price: £85.00
Age Range: KS4 (14-16)

The difficulty students have with maths questions in context is working out what has to be done – extracting the maths from the words. These 95 Functional Skills lesson plans give your KS4 students the practice they need in doing just that. These lesson plans and worksheets cover all the QCA Coverage and Range Statements at Level 1, and 11 out of 13 of the Statements at Level 2. Resources are fully cross-referenced to them.

To create Functional Skills Maths resources, we resequenced and re-referenced content from the Maths in Context series, with advice from Wynn Davies, Head of Key Stage 4 and 5 Maths at Willenhall School Sports College, Walsall.
