Functional Skills (Maths)

You’ll get questions in the test,
Where you need to multiply,
Or divide.
You’re allowed to use a calculator,
But you,
Will need to work out,
What calculation to do,
For yourself.

I've recently started a short course at OpenLearn called, "What is poetry?"

One of the tasks is to take a few lines of prose from a book and turn it into free verse by introducing line breaks to highlight what is important in the text. I took my inspiration from a Functional Skills level 1 Maths book.
