Functional Skills Levels 1/2

In Year 11 some students have the opportunity to study AQA Functional Mathematics Level 1 and 2 which allows them to apply mathematics in context and supports their GCSE work

The course aims to promote mathematical thinking and transferable skills rather than rote learning. Students will also cover:

  • Mathematics that is useful in everyday situations and the world of work.
  • Contextual material which emphasises the benefits of mathematics to people who have been ‘turned off’ by the subject.
