Functional Skills Maths resources
Free teaching and practice material for Functional Skills Maths at Level 1 and Level 2, published as downloadable PDFs. Each level has a lesson book, an exam practice notebook with worked solutions, and four revision handbooks.
These are independent, original resources written for the shared Functional Skills mathematics content used by Ofqual-regulated awarding organisations in England. They are not past papers, and they are not produced, approved or endorsed by any awarding organisation, Ofqual or the Department for Education.

What can I download?
You can download 12 free PDFs, six per level. The books follow the shared content that every awarding organisation in England assesses, so they work whether the exam is with Pearson Edexcel, City & Guilds, NCFE or another board.
Level 1
A learning guide with 31 lessons, an exam practice notebook with 124 topic questions and two 60-mark mocks, and four handbooks. Level 1 sits below Level 2 and is often the first step for adults and learners rebuilding confidence with number.
Level 2
A lesson notebook with 28 lessons, an exam practice notebook with 168 topic questions and two 60-mark mocks, and four handbooks. Level 2 is generally treated as equivalent to a GCSE grade 4, and it is the level most often asked for by employers, colleges and apprenticeships.
Independent and original
Every question, worked solution and diagram is newly written for these books. No awarding organisation papers, mark schemes or logos are reproduced, so the books sit alongside your board’s official sample papers without overlap.
Free to download, no sign up and no email required, for personal and household educational use.
Taking GCSE Maths instead?
Learners resitting GCSE Maths need the GCSE course, which is assessed differently. The GCSE Maths library has exam questions, lesson notebooks and revision guides for AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas.
| Level | Lesson book | Exam practice | Revision guides |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 31 lessons, 93 checks | 31 topic sets, 434 marks, 2 mocks | 4 handbooks, 99 pages |
| Level 2 | 28 lessons, 84 checks | 28 topic sets, 560 marks, 2 mocks | 4 handbooks, 97 pages |
Exam practice marks are the notebooks’ own original allocations, not an official mark scheme. Topic numbers match between each level’s lesson book and exam practice notebook.
