Functional Skills Level 1 Maths resources
Free resources for Functional Skills Maths Level 1, for every awarding organisation in England. Level 1 sits below Level 2 and is often the first step for adults and learners rebuilding confidence with number. Learn each topic with the learning guide, practise it in the exam practice notebook, and use the four handbooks to plan, repair and prepare.
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.
