Functional Skills Maths Level 2

Functional Skills Maths

Functional Skills Maths qualifications are designed to give learners the skills to operate confidently, effectively and independently in education, work and everyday life.

They have been created in response to employers’ perceptions that many learners are not achieving a sufficiently firm grounding in the basics.

 

Functional Skills Maths Qualification objectives

The aims of these qualifications are to develop learner understanding and skills in:

• Representing – selecting the mathematics and information to model a situation.
• Analysing – processing and using mathematics.
• Interpreting – interpreting and communication the results of the analysis.

 

Content

• Representing using mathematics
• Analysing situations mathematically
• Interpreting solutions to problems using mathematics
• Coverage of mathematical content in number, algebra, geometry and statistics

 

Coverage and Range

A learner should be able to:

 understand and use whole numbers and understand negative numbers in practical contexts

 add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers using a range of strategies

 understand and use equivalences between common fractions, decimals and percentages

 add and subtract decimals up to two decimal places

 solve simple problems involving ratio, where one number is a multiple of the other

 use simple formulae expressed in words for one- or two-step operations

 solve problems requiring calculation, with common measures, including money, time, length, weight, capacity and temperature

 convert units of measure in the same system

 work out areas and perimeters in practical situations

 construct geometric diagrams, models and shapes

 extract and interpret information from tables, diagrams, charts and graphs
