An introduction to the mathematical requirements of T Level Science RX066
These courses provide an introduction to the General Mathematical Competencies embedded throughout the T Level science qualification.
Summary
Are you looking to develop your students' mathematical competencies in T Level* Science? These short courses, part of a suite designed to support the teaching of the general mathematics competences in the T Level Science (and Health/Healthcare Science) specifications, develops general mathematics competencies.
This suite of short professional development courses has been developed to provide an introduction to the general mathematical competencies which are embedded throughout the T level Health/HealthCare Science/Science qualifications. Each course will develop pedagogy, mathematical subject knowledge and highlight resources suitable for classroom use.
Each course in the suite is also available to be booked separately:
RX058 An introduction to teaching the general mathematics competencies of T Level science
RX059 Mathematical competencies of T Level science: Teaching proportion
RX060 Mathematical competencies of T Level science: Teaching probability and statistics
RX061 Mathematical competencies of T Level science: Applying mathematical skills
Who is it for?
The course is suitable for teachers or department/faculty leaders that are planning to teach T Level Science (or T Level Health or Healthcare science) in schools or colleges and who wish to improve their ability to teach mathematical skills and competencies.
What topics are covered?
The courses will cover:
- General mathematics competencies
- Proportion
- Probability and statistics
- Applying mathematical skills
How will you learn?
