Able Marga's Functional Maths teaches the number skills used in real life — matching, sorting, comparing quantity and handling money — instead of abstract sums. Level 1 has 11 print-ready units built on errorless teaching. Children respond by pointing, circling or placing a card, so no reading or writing is needed.

Functional Maths Level 1 is an 11-unit set. Every unit follows the same structured 25-page format for predictable, repeatable learning.
Level 1 starts with visual discrimination and real-world concepts before expecting abstract number work.
The progression builds the visual and practical understanding a learner needs before moving towards counting, money and more advanced functional numeracy.

View the placement guide →Start with recognising coins and notes and matching “same” amounts before any adding. Able Marga's Functional Maths introduces money through pointing and matching tasks — one concept per page — so a child with autism or intellectual disability builds real, usable money sense step by step, without needing to read or write.
Functional numeracy is the everyday maths a person actually uses — quantity, money, time and measurement in real situations — taught for independence rather than exams.
No. Level 1 begins before counting, with matching, sorting and “same/different”, so it meets very early learners exactly where they are.
