Skillscheck for L1 Functional Skills Maths

A resource I designed to help my L1 Functional Maths learners revise and check on areas they needed to work on. Covers ratio, mean, percentages, problem solving, fractions, area , volume and more!  

Editor's note

Fabulous practice and revision! Fully mapped to the Reformed Functional Maths criteria. If you are a resource contributor, an answer sheet is available :)

Area, perimeter, volume re-cap task

I made this resource to check prior learning of a group I took over from another lecturer. It could work well for assessment, revision or as an extension task.
