Mathematical competencies of T Level science : Applying mathematical skills RX061
Explore strategies to help students develop the mathematical skills they need when costing a project; optimising work processes and communicating mathematically.
Summary
Are you looking to develop your students' mathematical competencies in T Level* Science? This course, part of a suite designed to support the teaching of the general mathematics competences in the T-Level science specifications, develops general mathematics competencies.
You will consider some of the barriers students face when applying mathematics to the world around them and explore strategies to help students overcome these barriers. You will explore resources that are designed to help students build on their prior learning and apply their understanding in a range of unfamiliar, engaging contexts.
This suite of short professional development courses been have developed provide an introduction to the general mathematical competencies which are embedded throughout the T level qualifications. Each course will develop pedagogy, mathematical subject knowledge and highlight resources suitable for classroom use. The other three courses in this suite are:
RX058 An introduction to teaching the general mathematics competencies of T-level science (2 hours)
RX059 Mathematical competencies of T-level science : Teaching proportion (2 hours)
RX060 Mathematical competencies of T-level science : Teaching probability and statistics (2 hours)
If you'd like to book to attend the full suite of courses, please see RX066 An introduction to the mathematical requirements of T Level Science
Outcomes
By attending this session you will:
- understand the reasons why students struggle when applying mathematics in unfamiliar contexts
- explore a range of teaching strategies to help students to apply their mathematics in unfamiliar contexts
- consider how the use of engaging, resources can help students to apply their mathematics in a range of contexts
