Functional Skills
ASDAN has created some practical resources to support the development of Functional Skills - Function Junction (student resources in English and Mathematics). These are designed to help students build and practise their Functional English and Functional Mathematics skills at Levels 1 and 2. Download the Function Junction flyer for further information.
These books can be purchased via ASDAN's Online Catalogue. Click the cover pages below to download sample copies of both student books.
There are accompanying Function Junction Tutor Guides that can be downloaded for free using the links below.
