Making Powerful Connections to Maths and Literacy in the Science Curriculum RC113 / C02
Summary
“Children learnt best when they could see how the Science they were studying linked to real world experiences, revealed more about the ‘big ideas’ in Science, and connected with and supported their learning of subjects, Including English and Mathematics.
Learning in this fashion engages and enthuses pupils, develops their natural curiosity, and motivates them to find out more.”
Maintaining Curiosity Report Ofsted 2013.
Throughout this course, you will identify the links between the core subjects and how to maximise your pupils' opportunities to develop numeracy, literacy and scientific skills.
