I absolutely love these starter quiz templates for L1 Functional Skills Maths and L1-L2 Functional English from Pearson Edexcel and Jonny Kay. The main link below sends you to an PDF overview - scroll to the end of the PDF for direct links to the templates and sample quizzes.
This spreadsheet is designed to enable students to check their own work; but also to learn about what happens when you add two decimals, or multiply two fractions, and so on.
The spreadsheet consists of the following sheets:

This spreadsheet generates numbers randomly to help with learning or practising addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, rounding, estimating, comparing number size…
You can project these onto a screen or have the students work with pen & paper in front of a computer, refreshing the numbers themselves.
A clever spreadsheet that creates a set of 15 loop or ‘follow me’ cards. Comes with a prewritten set of cards based on multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 100 but can you can easily add your own questions and answers on any topic.

A very clever spreadsheet that produces a constant supply of different worksheets with the click of a button (you must enable macros for the ‘recalculate’ button to operate). It produces a very nicely laid 1 page worksheets with a fold-over (or cut -off!) answer strip – each page has 16 questions covering addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of large numbers and fractions (some of the fraction questions are beyond the scope of the L2 curriculum but can easily be omitted).

It produces a very nicely laid out 1 page worksheet with a fold-over (or cut -off!) answer strip – each page has 14 questions covering odd-even nos., factors, multiples and primes (for numbers up to 99).
