It was a while ago, so, all I will say is basic.

Adding, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. Nothing too fancy.

Being at Level 2 in Literacy (English) and Numeracy(Maths), for example GCSE at C, or above would mean you were at the required level for a FF. If you aren't contact any local college, or adult learning service at a school. Literacy and Numeracy courses for those below L2 will (well it damn well should be with the funding they get for this! - if it isn't say so!) be free. Really good for answering how you identified your own development needs and what you did......
