Library+ are holding a short story competition for world book day (6th March). Signpost learners to join in or incorporate as part of a lesson. The competition comes with lovely prizes (shopping vouchers I believe) and the deadline is 21st February.
I know it is easier to do with a Functional Skills English - currently designing a lesson around it - but perhaps it could be incorporated into a tutorial?

Functional Skills Maths
Level 1 Maths specification - the important bits for busy people embedding FS into their lessons.
Representing - – selecting the mathematics and information to model a situation
• Learners recognise that a situation has aspects that can be represented using mathematics.
• Learners make an initial model of a situation using suitable forms of representation.
• Learners decide on the methods, operations and tools, including ICT, to use in a situation.
• Learners select the mathematical information to use.
Skill standards:
1 Representing
• understand practical problems in familiar and unfamiliar contexts and situations, some of which are non-routine
• identify and obtain necessary information to tackle the problem
• select mathematics in an organised way to find solutions
2 Analysing
• apply mathematics in an organised way to find solutions to straightforward practical problems for different purposes
• use appropriate checking procedures at each stage
3 Interpreting
• interpret and communicate solutions to practical problems, drawing simple conclusions
I have a list of all the topics learners cover for FS Maths (Entry Level, Level 1 and Level 2) which I will print off and bring to tomorrows session (4/2/14)

Analysing – processing and using mathematics
• Learners use appropriate mathematical procedures.
• Learners examine patterns and relationships.
• Learners change values and assumptions or adjust relationships to see the effects on answers in models.
• Learners find results and solutions.
Interpreting – interpreting and communicating the results of the analysis
• Learners interpret results and solutions.
• Learners draw conclusions in light of situations.
• Learners consider the appropriateness and accuracy of results and conclusions.
• Learners choose appropriate language and forms of presentation to communicate results and solutions.
