This entry level functional skills maths qualification covers number and algebra, shape, space and measures, and handling data. You'll apply maths to practical tasks and real-life problems. The course typically takes 18 months to complete. It's a recognised step toward Level 1 Functional Skills Maths, which is the route to the GCSE maths equivalent at Level 2.

Who this course is for

Students of our Entry Level Certificate in Mathematics will learn to use and apply mathematics in practical tasks, in real-life problems and within mathematics itself, focusing on number and algebra, shape, space and measures, and handling data.

  • You'll work with shape, space, and measures in real-life contexts.
  • You'll collect, organise, and interpret data.
  • You'll solve mathematical problems set in everyday situations.
  • You'll use maths accurately within mathematical tasks themselves.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Grange Park School. Teaching covers practical tasks and real-life problems alongside core mathematical topics. Assessment is through tasks and a written test set by Pearson Edexcel. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm that Functional Skills Mathematics Entry Level 3 is the right level for you, and the centre will use it to plan your learning.
