Section A Functional Skills Level 2 Assessments

In this resource, I have constructed 12 Section A (Non-Calculator) assessments for the NEW specification of Edexcel Functional Skills (Level 2) in Mathematics. There is also a PowerPoint with worked solutions/mark scheme to display.

This resource is pitched at a similar level to the Section A Sample Paper that Edexcel has provided: Each assessment is four sides of A4 in length, each totalling 16 marks (as per Edexcel’s specification).

The 12 x 4 questions cover the vast majority of the Edexcel specification, with topics including:

• Estimation

• Substituting numbers into formulae and ‘word formulae’

• Order, approximate and compare decimals

• Add, subtract, multiply or divide decimals

• Calculate using ratios and direct proportion (I felt inverse proportion would be too difficult for non-calculator tests)

• Calculate amounts of money, percentage increases and percentage decreases

• Compound Measures: (Speed = distance / time), (Density = mass / volume)

• Perimeters and Areas of 2D shapes

• Drawing plans and side views

• Angles

• Median and Mode of a set of quantities

• Compare the mean, median, mode and range of datasets

NB: Each of these topics are not covered equally.
