Event Details

Day 1: 8 June 2023

Start time: 13:00 BST

End time: 16:00 BST

Venue: Services For Education, Unit 3 Holt Court, Holt Street, Birmingham, B7 4AX

This course is designed to support practitioners in all settings to develop their understanding of the mathematical skills required to be successful in the science classroom. There will be opportunities to explore the application of these mathematical principles across the curriculum; considering how science education can support students to excel in all subjects.

We will look at some of the key areas in science that are at risk if pupils are not numerate. It may be that some of these difficulties arise through not distinguishing between the teaching of facts and skills and teaching through conceptual understanding. Suggestions for both student teachers and existing teachers of science in primary and secondary schools on how this problem might be addressed will be addressed.
