Developing shared approaches to maths in science and science in maths MY219 / B22
Summary
Who is it for?
What topics are covered?
- working with numbers: rounding, significant figures, standard form
- proportional reasoning: techiques to develop students ability to scale up and scale down applied to units, magnification, compound measures, molar calculations…
- exploring equations: considering different methods of solving linear equations and how these methods may be used to improve students' ability rearrange equations
- interpreting graphs 1: bridging the gap between expectations in mathematics and expectations in science
- interpreting graphs 2: understanding what the gradient of a line means in different contexts
- sketching and drawing graphs: developing techniques to improve graphs drawing skills in science
- trigonometry: exploring an approach to teaching trigonometry with understanding applied in a science context
- practicals for the mathematics classroom
- throughout the course you wll consider how definitions and notation differ in mathematics and science and develop methods to minimise the barriers which make students applying their mathematical skills in a science context challenging
