About this course

Free Entry Level 2 Functional Skills Maths in Helston. Classes run at Helston Adult Education Centre, part-time during the day, over 22 weeks. This entry level functional skills maths course covers number, measures, and handling data at a pace that fits around other commitments. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm Entry Level 2 is the right starting point, and the centre will use it to plan your learning.

Who this course is for

This course is for learners wishing to improve their maths skills and gain a qualification in a supportive adult environment

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, including counting, ordering, and simple calculations.
  • You'll add, subtract, multiply, and divide using everyday contexts.
  • You'll read and interpret simple charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll work with basic measures such as length, weight, capacity, and time.
  • You'll handle money and work out simple costs.
  • You'll recognise and describe simple patterns and shapes.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom at Helston Adult Education Centre, with a tutor guiding you through each topic. Learning is hands-on and practical, using everyday examples. Assessment is through a set task and an externally marked test, both set by City and Guilds. You'll complete these when your tutor confirms you're ready.
