There are a lot of different apps out there for pretty much everything but perhaps nothing directly for Functional Skills learners. Here's a list of some of the apps that I've had a look at that I think may be worthy of a quick download and see if they help - I'll try and add to the list as and when I can and give some feedback:
Math Pro for Kids (teachersparadise.com) - a bit of a pain that it's mentioned 'for kids' in the title which may put off adult learners but it's actually just an app to help practice basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. 16-19 learners could also use it as a start-up activity at the beginning of the session.
MathMate (SunnySide Blue) - again, another app to practice basic arithmetic and the ability to go up levels if you do well...so pretty good for the competitive bunch!
Nonograms/hanjie puzzles.
Ok, so these aren't apps but they are a different way of getting learners engaged and using logic to complete the puzzle and find out what it is. For those of you new to this kind of thing, take a look...
