Editor's notes

Functional Skills Success is a growing educational platform dedicated to helping learners and teachers prepare for a range of qualifications including Functional Skills Maths (Levels 1 and 2) and FS English (Level 2) 

Fee teaching tools include functional skills maths question generators, interactive manipulatives such as place value counters, word of the day generator, teaching ideas, common exam mistakes guide, links to practice papers, question of the day, teaching blog. 

A new site run by UK Maths teacher Iain. The Level 2 Functional Skills Maths content descriptors have been broken down into 70 free, detailed video tutorials with associated worksheets (practice questions followed by scenario questions) provided as large image files - not PDFs. There are also videos with past paper walk-throughs and times table tips, plus links to past papers from all the FS awarding bodies. Videos are short and snappy and great for self study, reinforcement and revision. Foundation GCSE is also covered (separately) 👍👍🏿👍🏽

I’ve only briefly skimmed through but some of these new mastery resources for L1 & L2 Functional Maths (and GCSE resits) look amazing! Includes full 33 hour (22 x 1.5 hr lessons) schemes of work, lesson plans, handouts and slides. 
 

Three graduated online basic skills tests (but new questions can be generated for each test) based on original PDF  basic skills tests from AQA. The tests are just one of many hundreds of excellent resources on the mathsbot.com site which is owned, written and maintained by maths teacher Jonathan Hall. 

Updated February 2025 A fun quiz for St David's Day (or any other day you feel like making Welsh cakes!) made in Edpuzzle. There's slightly more emphasis on maths than English but it's also very useful for improving listening, memory and general observation skills.

Wonderful, very authentic Countdown game. Complete with music, optional working space and ability to show all possible answers (after 30 seconds of course!).

An ideal mental maths / spelling  / general warm up for Entry Level 3 upwards. 

These 10 minute tests are brilliant (one test at each level, each test has 12 multiple choice questions). 

Four things I really like are:

• Wide curriculum coverage
• Many can be answered using estimation/logic and thus teach valuable time-saving exam techniques
• Clarity
• Step by step  walk throughs of questions you get wrong

Free "6 Minute Maths" Digital Learning resource! Entry Level to Level 2, no catch revise on your phone or tablet with this free very detailed 4 page PDF.
