good for basic

Great book. Simple to use and easy to follow explanations

Brought a selection of Maths functional skills books and this one is the most engaging. So well laid out, with colourful pages. This book breakdowns each section in nice simple ways. It shows you 'How' and then gives a practice page, answers in the back of the book. My daughter uses this book alongside others, this is the go to if she needs to understand how to do the working out. Free app code in the book makes this very good value for money.

This are good for going over maths in the lead up to exams, some of the areas won’t that helpful and we had to look at other books to get more information on certain areas. They tried to simplify it to much, but it is really helpful for checking what you know. You might need a more in depth study book to go along side this to consolidate your learning.

I am a teacher of functional skills and i bought this book for the new specification. Its absolutely fab, good clear pages, with colourful examples, explanations and diagrams. I have recommended this book to all my students as its a good price and very affordable. Its compact and neat, enabling it to be carried to classes unlike other more heavy, bulky text books. All in all a really good little book, which i highly recommend for anybody studying functional skills maths.

Welty helpful

I can't recommend this book highly enough for people needing to quickly learn maths basics. I scraped through the Scottish equivalent (slightly different syllabus) of GCSE maths when I was 16, then literally forgot maths existed for the next 16 years until I started doing a masters in computer science at the age of 32, which was very maths-intense! I was struggling big time so I crammed this book in 4 or 5 days over the Christmas break. It helped me understand a lot of the maths in my degree, and gave me the foundation I needed to learn the other maths needed (including some A-level). The book achieves being both very short and concise, yet very informative. I still refer to it frequently.

Smaller than expected and hard to follow for my homeschooled son it’s okay
