Functional Skills Maths Level 1 Formulae Pack | Worded Formulae & Function Machine Worksheets + Less

This comprehensive Functional Skills Maths Level 1 Formulae Pack provides everything learners need to understand and use simple formulae in words and function machines. It includes a full teaching PowerPoint, a real-life formula worksheet, and a function-machine worksheet—ideal for whole-class teaching, revision, homework, or independent study.

The Formulae Lesson PowerPoint introduces students to worded formulae, step-by-step calculations, BIDMAS reminders, and real-life applications such as cooking times, hire costs, carpet cleaning, water bills, and internet usage. Worked examples guide learners through one-step and two-step formulae, with opportunities to practise using rules expressed in words or as function machines.

The Formulae in Words Worksheet provides a wide range of everyday scenarios, including cooking meat, hiring equipment, travel expenses, phone contracts, currency conversions, delivery charges, and wages. Learners must substitute the correct values into the given formula and calculate final costs or times—mirroring Functional Skills exam-style questions.
