Description

The Functional Skills Maths course offers a well-structured approach to mastering essential mathematical concepts. The course begins with an exploration of integers (directed numbers), which form the foundation of many mathematical operations. It progresses to topics such as factors, multiples, and fractions, allowing students to understand how numbers interact and can be simplified. One of the key learning points is the BODMAS rule, which is essential for correctly performing calculations in the correct order.

Further into the curriculum, learners will explore decimal numbers, rational numbers, and approximation. These topics build on the basics, helping learners grasp the practical applications of mathematics in daily life. The course also covers scientific notation (standard form), which is crucial for expressing very large or very small numbers in a concise way. Additionally, learners will gain proficiency in percentages, ratio, and proportion, all of which are valuable skills in both personal finance and various industries.

The additional courses complement the main curriculum, offering skills in English and IT that enhance overall personal and professional development. Courses like Functional Skills English Level 3, TEFL/TESOL, and Business Writing can improve communication skills, while Advanced Mathematics and IGCSE Mathematics provide more advanced mathematical concepts for those looking to further their education.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Understand and apply the BODMAS rule in mathematical calculations.
  • Simplify fractions and perform basic operations with fractions.
  • Convert between decimal numbers and fractions with ease.
  • Estimate and approximate values in real-world situations.
  • Use percentages to solve problems involving discounts, profit, and tax.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
