Functional Skills Mathematics at Entry Level contain three sub levels:
Assessment material is available for Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3. Learners need to complete one of the entry levels to achieve the qualification.
This qualification is internally assessed by the centre staff (e.g. tutors, support workers, carers, assessors) and externally moderated by OCR. Assessments are set by OCR. Units will be graded Pass or Fail.
These qualifications recognise achievement of Functional Skills in mathematics at Entry level. Learners who achieve at Entry 1 will have mathematical abilities that range from the most elementary of achievement to beginning to make use of skills, knowledge or understanding that relate to the immediate environment.
Learners who achieve at Entry 2 will have mathematical skills, knowledge and understanding to carry out simple, familiar tasks with guidance. Learners who achieve at Entry 3 will have mathematical skills, knowledge and understanding to carry out structured tasks in familiar contexts, with appropriate guidance where needed. It is also for learners who want to progress to level 1 but currently need greater support to achieve level 1.
This qualification can be used as a component for any Foundation Learning programme.
