Adult Numeracy, Functional Maths, and GCSE Resources

Displaying 1 - 3 of 3 resources:

A hastily put together resource for Valentine's Day 2022 (but can be used in any year!).  Although the covered subject content statements are all E1 or E2 - the problem solving element of some questions also makes this also suitable for E3, especially the final "Stretch" investigation. Questions are mapped but there is no answer sheet.
