Functional Skills Programmes
Maths Level 1 & 2
The Functional Skills qualifications in Maths at Level 1 & 2 are necessary for people to confidently be able to use Maths effectively within the work environment and their own personal lives.
The purpose of these qualifications is to demonstrate both Mathematical skills at the appropriate level and the ability to apply Mathematical thinking effectively to solve problems successfully in the workplace and in other real-life situations.
We have put together a snapshot of a learning plan to demonstrate how our dedicated Tutors will structure tailored learning plans that will be used to support confidence and enhance the opportunity to succeed with numbers for life.
| Level | Use Numbers and Number System | Use of Measures, Shape and Space | Handle Information and Data | Solving Mathematical Problems and Decision Making |
| 1 | Count in steps of various sizes, including negative numbers; read, write and understand positive whole numbers to one million. | Work out simple relationships between common units of measurement to define quantities, also involving mathematical terms for position and direction. | Select, construct and interpret a range of statistical diagrams in various contexts; select and use methods and forms to present and describe outcomes. | Use the knowledge and skills listed above to recognise and obtain a solution or solutions to a straightforward problem. |
| 2 | Use numbers of any size; read, write and make use of positive and negative integers of any size; use, order and compare integers, fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios as well as recognise the value of a digit in any whole or decimal number. | Handle relationships between measurements of various kinds, use angles and coordinates when involving position and direction and make use of geometric properties in calculations with 2-D and 3-D shapes and understand the relationships between them. | Construct, interpret and evaluate a range of statistical diagrams. They can calculate and interpret probabilities. They can calculate, analyse, compare and interpret appropriate data sets, tables, diagrams and statistical measures such as common averages (mean, median, mode) and spread (range), and use statistics to compare sets of data. They can identify patterns and trends from data as well as recognise simple correlation. | Use the knowledge and skills listed to recognise and obtain a solution or solutions to a complex problem. |
