About this course

Free Functional Skills Maths Level 2 in York. Classes run at Huntington School. Daytime sessions run part-time over 33 weeks, so you can fit study around other commitments. This is the recognised GCSE maths equivalent for adults, accepted by employers and colleges in place of a GCSE grade 4 or above. The course covers number, measure, statistics, and problem-solving at Level 2. You'll sit an assessment at the end.

Who this course is for

Anyone who does not already have a qualification at Level 2 (GCSE 4+) or above in Maths

Entry requirements

This course is funded for learners in the York and North Yorkshire area. If you live outside of this area, we recommend contacting your local adult education provider.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages in practical contexts.
  • You'll interpret and use data from tables, charts, and graphs.
  • You'll apply measurement and geometry to everyday problems.
  • You'll solve multi-step problems using mathematical reasoning.
  • You'll use ratio and proportion in real calculations.
  • You'll develop accuracy and checking strategies for written and mental maths.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom at Huntington School, with a tutor guiding you through each topic. Learning is practical and applied, using everyday contexts to build your skills. Assessment is by a written exam set by City and Guilds. You'll have an initial assessment at the start so the centre can confirm Level 2 is the right starting point and plan your learning accordingly.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Huntington School will confirm anything else you need before you start.

What you could study next
