Linking maths and science in your primary school SL046 / RB01
Summary
Discover how to integrate science and mathematics in your teaching to create a more connected and meaningful learning experience. Learn to design lessons that help pupils develop their numeracy skills while applying mathematical concepts in real-world scientific contexts, such as accurate measurement and effective data handling. This approach will not only enhance pupils' mathematical understanding but also enable them to apply these skills in science, fostering deeper connections between the two subjects and supporting overall skill development.
