It helps me because I know that the work is of the required standard... looks very good and easy to use with classes.

C Johnson, Head of Maths at Derwentside College and ZigZag Customer

The resources match the funtional skills specifications well. They address all the objectives that students will have to master... Students are kept engaged with the topics - and the maths involved become very relevant to them.

B Patel, Head of Maths & Peer Reviewer

Concise, with lots of examples giving pupils lots of questions to practics on. ... I liked the content sheet at the start which gave the list of topics covered in each sheet. ... It covers the topics with lots of examples. The worksheets are very accessible in terms of the language used and the layout... I liked the layout of the answer sheet, with the answers written out in a different colour next to the question. This would be a great resource when projecting answers on an iwb, especially for level 1 students... All the topics that are required to be covered are and in real life contexts.

The resource has good, obvious functional links which will be accessible to students... I liked the range of types of questions (explain, match, fill in the gaps) and particularly liked the use of starter questions.
