Description
The VTCT (Skillsfirst) Level 1 Functional Skills Qualification in
Mathematics has been developed for work, study and life. It
gives learners the opportunity to demonstrate a sound grasp of
mathematical skills at the appropriate level and the ability to
apply mathematical thinking effectively to solve problems
successfully in the workplace and in other real-life situations.
The qualification has been designed to enable the learner to
gain in confidence and fluency, and to develop behaviours such
as persistence and logical thinking as they apply mathematical
tools and approaches.
The qualification has also been designed to:
enable learners to demonstrate their ability in
mathematical skills and their ability to apply these, through
appropriate reasoning and decision making, to solve
realistic problems of increasing complexity
introduce learners to new areas of life and work so that
they are exposed to concepts and problems which, while
not of immediate concern, may be of value in later life
enable learners to develop an appreciation of the role
played by mathematics in the world of work and in life
generally
enable learners to use numbers and the number system,
such as whole numbers, fractions, decimals and
percentages, use common measures, shape and space
and handle information and data.
