This booklet has 3 sections and is aimed at Foundation GCSE students. Section 1 gives hints and tips on how certain functional questions should be set out and attempted. There is a hint and tips section and space for a solution. Section 2 has similar questions but this time does not guide the students, helping them to become more independent. The third section is optional for the teacher to copy and paste exam questions for pupils to attempt. Hope this helps with the 'dreaded' functional questions.
