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.

Sandra Passmore – Former Adviser, Services For Education
Sandra has extensive experience in safeguarding, health and wellbeing and evidence based practice. She has worked nationally with key government departments (Departments of Health and Education) to help shape strategy and policy whilst still retaining the focus on working for the best outcomes for children and young people.
She has a PhD on the psychology of health related choices which has informed the development of award winning, evidence based programmes such as Health for Life in primary schools and Health for Life in nursery schools which have been proven to have a sustainable impact on improving the health and wellbeing of children and families.
Sandra led the development and delivery of the DSL (Designated Safeguarding Lead) training for SFE. She was pivotal in expanding the remit of the safeguarding work to also include issues such as domestic abuse and sexual violence and harassment within the education context.
Sandra’s passion for improving the lives of children has led her to develop work within Public Health and managed RCT (Randomised Control Trials) on the effectiveness of interventions such as the daily mile. Additionally, Sandra has written books for teachers and pupils as well as peer reviewed academic journal papers.
