This is a full Functional skills level 2 module introducing the concept of mult-step word problems using the four operations and money.
I find the most difficult thing for my students, is to tackle the long form questions which throw so much information out in one chunk.
With all my Functional Skills resources, I try and incorporate multi-step questions right from the start, to give my learners maximum practice time to acquire the skills they’ll need for the exam. I break some of the questions down into more manageable steps before letting them loose on full blown questions. So that is what I have here in PowerPoint and PDF format. This is a 20+ page/slide unit that covers everything they will need to learn how to multi step problems using the four operations.
Before each long question, there is a series of short questions which introduce all the skills that will be applied to the long question.
It is may aim to mix things up a little so that skills are revisited many times in different contexts - as applying skills in different contexts is another skill my students tend to struggle with. I hope you find these helpful. I have numbered the units I use with Functional Skills because the lower numbers have fewer required prior skills so if you follow them in order, the skills build over time. This is the first unit so requires very little prior knowledge.

The material is provided as a PDF workbook and as a powerpoint for use in class or for online learners.
