Introductory activity to the use of averages and range for Functional Skills or GCSE Maths students. Certainly helps the methods and the maths to stick. M&M activity provides practice finding measures of mean, median, mode and Range, with the opportunity to develop skills when developing a chart to display data. Easily adaptable to suit your differentiation needs. Learners initially work in pairs, but the activity eventually involves working together as a whole group to compare the different amounts. It also has a review of converting fractions, decimals, and percents. M&M’s will need to be purchased to complete this activity.

A great activity for practicing the use of number and of the four operations. Used with Functional Skills at a variety of levels - including QR codes for embedding the use of ICT skills. Working in pairs and using two dice, learners roll to get coordinates in order to pick a question. If they get the answer correct, they initial the square. The learner with the most squares with their name on, wins the game. I have also had the game made larger to use with a whole group of learners with a lower level of ability.

A set of quiz cards to test the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with a problem solving approach. They have been designed for use in Functional Skills from entry level to level 2 and include some problem based questions too. Useful with my Whole Number presentation resource as an activity.

A presentation on the subject of working with whole numbers using the 4 mathematical operations for Functional Skills Maths. Suitable from entry level to level 2; supplements my other resources for sale on the subject of whole number. Included is a maths vocabulary guide to help embed literacy in your maths lessons.

A resource to help you monitor distance travelled with regards to confidence development. Your learners complete the self-assessment and by using a Likert Scale, score their confidence for the curriculum areas of maths and English Functional Skills. Designed to be use at the start, middle and end of their programme of learning. Useful for students to use as a visual indicator to show their own growth and development. Mapped to cover learning objectives up to level 2.
