Functional Skills qualification in Maths at Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3
These templates have been created as a guide to centres to give an example of an
approach to gathering evidence for the Functional Skills Maths Entry Level assessment.
These templates may be used in the form they are presented in, however Centres may
amend these to add in their own wording, pictures, resources, contexts in conjunction with
the Entry Level marking guidance to ensure that the criteria for the assessment are still met.
Centres are reminded that any changes they make to the assessment must still enable
learners to produce evidence as required by the mark scheme in order to pass the
assessment.
