Functional Skills Mathematics mapping – coverage and range statements

This resource is ideal for underpinning many Functional Maths coverage and range statements –

particularly at Entry Level 3 and Level 1 (see ticked statements below).

However, in Functional Maths exams it is the process skills that are assessed; these are key to successful

Functional Maths teaching and learning and must always be developed and stressed during teaching (see

next page).

Coverage and range statements provide an indication of the type of mathematical content candidates are

expected to apply in functional contexts. Relevant content can also be drawn from equivalent National

Curriculum levels and the Adult Numeracy standards.
