Let's get functional

Average Rating4.64
(based on 274 reviews)

I am an experienced functional skills and GCSE maths teacher. I teach mainly adults. I also teach apprentices so I have a wide variety of resources from whole class teaching to my workbooks which were originally developed for work with apprentice who come to my classes on a roll on roll off basis - lessons with apprentices are very exam focused trying to prepare them for exams as quickly as possibly. I enjoy a problem solving approach and like to develop resource suitable for adults.

Functional Skills Maths Level 1 and Level 2 30 Week Scheme of Work

(3)
This is a full 30 week scheme of work for functional skills maths. Written by myself for the City and Guilds criteria but still useful for other exam boards. Contains curriculum links, starters, homework suggestions , plenary ideas and ideas for lesson content . Stretch and challenge included and differentiated. There are some links to resources as well, a few lessons include links to PPT, and all resources. Please note that not all suggestions for resources that are written on the scheme include links although if you send me a message I will send you any that you can’t find. Most links are to free resources on TES. Ofsted observed me twice in November and my planning was complimented as a strength on both occasions. Perfect for someone just starting out or more experienced teachers looking for new ideas.

Functional skills maths. Converting fractions, decimals, percentages and probability. Whole Lesson.

Functional skills maths. Converting fractions, decimals, percentages and probability. Whole Lesson.

(2)
Really great lesson for converting between fractions decimals and percentages with a calculator. Written for Ofsted week. Lesson centres around prime ministers under the current queen. lots of great E&D and BV embedded. Promotes some very interesting discussion especially with adult learners, not had anyone name all the primes ministers yet! Includes a starter where your can print and laminate the pictures of the prime ministers (or show on board if preferred) then have the learners create a table of names, number of years served and political party includes reading for information (embedding English)- if anything like my learners they need the practice. Includes 31 page work booklet which accompanies the PPT with resources and activities included. Catchphrase and code breaker. I have also tagged probability onto this lesson as it was a 2.5 hr lesson, so there is enough to do to cover 2 shorter lessons easy enough to split up. All answers included on PPT for peer marking and or self assessment. FDP conversion dominoes included. I hope your learners enjoy this lesson as much as mine do it has been very successful this year. I recommend printing the resources in a booklet.
