An introduction to teaching the general mathematics competencies of T Level science RX058
Introduction to the General Mathematical Competencies and explores problem solving strategies and ways of building students' mathematical resilience.
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 develop an understanding of the mathematics that students are likely to have experienced so far on their mathematical journey before embarking on their T level study. You will consider the challenges presented by the mathematics content in T levels and explore methods to build problem solving and resilience into the learning experience, exploring a number of mathematics based teaching resources which can be incorporate into lessons.
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:
RX059 Mathematical competencies of T Level science : Teaching proportion (2 hours)
RX060 Mathematical competencies of T Level science : Teaching probability and statistics (2 hours)
RX061 Mathematical competencies of T Level science : Applying mathematical skills (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.
