Science in maths or maths in science? Establishing shared understandings and teaching approaches MY214 / A16
Summary
There is significant overlap between science and mathematics curricula, but students’ experience of shared topics is often very different in the two subjects. Are applications from Science regularly used to explore concepts in maths lessons? Are the mathematical techniques that students learn in Science developed with understanding? This course aims to identify common content, and explore ways of teaching that develop sufficient mathematical understanding whilst providing fluency in the skills required for science. The course will also consider opportunities for cross-curricular projects and provide an opportunity for maths and science teachers to work together on curricular and extra-curricular development.
This is a residential course, fees include meals and accommodation for the duration of the course.
Course fees vary for participants outside the UK. Please contact enquiries@stem.org.uk for more information.
