Functional Maths Activity (L1 - L2) - Scale Drawings (and GCSE)

A great resource on the topic of scales and scale drawings.

I use this activity with both my Functional Skills Level 1 and 2 learners, and with my GCSE class to assist them with the problem solving aspect of the syllabus. The activity can be easily adapted by tutors to suit their needs.

It is ideal for testing learners knowledge and application of skills in the following areas:

Reading and interpreting scales and scale drawings
Drawing to scale
General arithmetic
Ratios
Area
Volume
Comparing prices of items
Money
Percentages


The activity is laid out in the style/format of an extended Functional Exam Question. Learners must read and use the front sheet to assist them with the questions throughout the activity.

The activity also includes Challenge Questions, designed to challenge higher ability learners.
