ONE minute #asechat with @ThomasCarlPion copies of #LOMiS at the ready https://t.co/pLdGBXxnrL

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 2:52 PM EDT

10 minutes to go until Language of Maths in Scienc https://t.co/4oxKZLUt5y e #asechat Get your copy ready.

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:00 PM EDT

Evening all. Another #asechat This one on Language of Maths in Science. Have you got your free download? https://t.co/huBVXZsbmm

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:03 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion Evening!Ready for #ASEChat to discuss using mathematics in science teaching. What guidance would be most useful to teachers?

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:03 PM EDT

Robin Millar says This publication makes a major contribution to the relationships tween maths & sci #asechat https://t.co/qd7TvPae5G

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:04 PM EDT

Which chapter in #LOMiS is your first dip into the text? #asechat

teachingofsci Jun 13 @ 3:04 PM EDT

If you weren't already bored with my teacher tweets, the next hour will be about the language of maths in science as part of #ASEchat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:05 PM EDT

. @ThomasCarlPion says that it will be useful for many years to come - no doubt about that #asechat

JonScott46 Jun 13 @ 3:05 PM EDT

Fostering a spirit of cooperation between maths and science departments is high on my list #asechat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:06 PM EDT

#asechat @NeedhamL56 A good question 'cause it is huge and very rich. Start with the familiar and something in which you can involve Ma dept

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:07 PM EDT

Drawing graphs "think about the purpose ...and what kind of display is best for representing the data” p35, 'we' think its obvious #asechat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:07 PM EDT

@damianainscough @ThomasCarlPion The importance of mathematics in understanding science needs to be clearly articulated #ASEChat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:07 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 I'm straight to Proportionality and ratio. I think students find this very hard #asechat

gregtheseal Jun 13 @ 3:07 PM EDT

#asechat good evening everyone, just downloaded my guide. Now if you could summarise it for me that would be great. :)

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:08 PM EDT

@JonScott46 Do you have any tips for lubricating this interdepartmental relationship, Jon? #ASEChat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:09 PM EDT

#asechat - Chapter 4? Drawing charts and graphs; Or 2 - Doing calculations and representing values ?@NeedhamL56

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:09 PM EDT

@gregtheseal Be consistent - phys, bi, chem singing from the same hymn sheet and maths depts know what hymns we are singing #asechat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:09 PM EDT

@gregtheseal In summary I would suggest that it all needs digesting, but not in a single sitting #ASEChat

mccormackpj Jun 13 @ 3:09 PM EDT

I started by mapping out all the maths skills across the PoS and embedding the into the SoL #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:10 PM EDT

I went straight to the graphs Ch 4, but was immediately redirected to Ch 3 as more to it than meets the eye #asechat https://t.co/az7I73MTHG

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:06 PM EDT

#asechat @NeedhamL56 A good question 'cause it is huge and very rich. Start with the familiar and something in which you can involve Ma dept

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion @gregtheseal I would go further and suggest not all teachers of the same science discipline agree on rules of thumb #ASEChat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@ViciaScience I think it needs to sit side by side with planning docs - refer to relevant sections whenever maths come up in SoW #asechat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:11 PM EDT

#asechat Discuss when and to whom diff elements are taught - can vary from Y9 to 11 depending on attainment in Ma (which may be diff 2 Sc)

JonScott46 Jun 13 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@ViciaScience #asechat yes: it won't happen naturally. You will find yourselves teaching the same technique differently at different times

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion not for me, need to check my understanding of the familiar first so I could build up to the more challenging ideas #asechat

"Scalectrix Race Day" workshop with Adam Dean at #LTaLSC16 in Leicester https://t.co/QS1s8WEnUE #Asechat #ukedchat https://t.co/5YhAz0xE2r

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:13 PM EDT

@JonScott46 and probably find teaching same techniques for different purposes too. There are science and maths differences in aims #ASEChat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:13 PM EDT

@JonScott46 I think this is so important. Students need different perspectives on the same ideas in order to internalise them #asechat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:14 PM EDT

#asechat Talk with Ma department about these and when first taught. SHARE teaching with Ma, don't rely on them https://t.co/YSbQB5xptM

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:14 PM EDT

@damianainscough some of these ideas need introducing earlier than traditional. Where do you teach area to lead to SA/vol ratio? #ASEChat

JonScott46 Jun 13 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@ViciaScience #asechat so there is a need to understand each other's specs and approaches, or much frustration may follow. Works both ways!

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@ViciaScience 'identify, approaches taken in mathematics teaching that may influence what is done in science lessons.' #asechat #LoMiSaims

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@JonScott46 Absolutely. What can science depts provide to make life easier for maths colleagues? #ASEChat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:16 PM EDT

#asechat Carry out a 'confident to *teach poll' with your staff to reveal strengths and weaknesses (*for understanding, NOT 'tricks')

teacherchalky1 Jun 13 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@JonScott46 @ViciaScience And when each teach different concepts #asechat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@JonScott46 Indeed 'Consistency between mathematics and science is clearly desirable wherever possible:' #asechat #LoMiSaims

JonScott46 Jun 13 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion #asechat they do, but initially they must recognise where techniques are essentially the same

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:18 PM EDT

#asechat @ViciaScience @JonScott46 If it's needed first, teach it first (with guidance from Ma colleagues as required)

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:18 PM EDT

p109 Volume units: "The accepted units [in science] are cubic centimetres (1 cm 3 = 1 ml) and cubic decimetres (1 dm 3 = 1 l) #asechat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:19 PM EDT

@damianainscough and then use results to see if those who are confident use similar approaches to avoid confusing pupils #ASEChat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:19 PM EDT

@JonScott46 Indeed - and we need to help them see that, because students naturally compartmentalise their thinking #asechat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:20 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 @JonScott46 Sometimes mathematical ideas taught at different ages to different maths 'sets' in same school #ASEChat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:21 PM EDT

Where do tweachers think the biggest problems FOR STUDENTS will be in the new GCSEs wrt maths content? #asechat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:21 PM EDT

#asechat How much research evidence is there about different methods of teaching maths? Which methods have greatest impact on maths undstg?

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:22 PM EDT

@damianainscough Good question. Maybe @MaryUYSEG could answer that? #asechat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:22 PM EDT

#asechat Ofqual research suggests teachers think sc calculations are harder than the students actually find them (to be publ in July 16)

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:22 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion Anxiety being expressed that students need to memorise specific formulae in GCSE physics #wrongapproach? #ASEChat

JonScott46 Jun 13 @ 3:23 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion #asechat yes, to a surprising degree. Often found simple rearranging of a=bc does not transfer from maths to science

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:23 PM EDT

@ViciaScience Primary school #asechat

MaryUYSEG Jun 13 @ 3:25 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion @damianainscough don’t know we need to ask our maths colleagues #ASEchat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:25 PM EDT

@damianainscough push in maths to promote teaching conceptual rather than procedural maths, ie for understanding, not right answer #ASEChat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:25 PM EDT

@damianainscough At the moment exam questions usually just involve multiplying the numbers in the questions (GCSE physics anyway) #asechat

SteveTeachPhys Jun 13 @ 3:25 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 but not accepted in P because neither is SI!! #asechat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@damianainscough I'm marking GCSE scripts at the moment. Maths questions are where the students ARE scoring. #asechat #lackofrigour

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@JonScott46 @ThomasCarlPion because a=bc has different meaning to F=ma? #ASEChat

jk_graves Jun 13 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@JonScott46 @ThomasCarlPion spoken to maths about using science eqs in their lessons eg f=ma. small work for them but might help #asechat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:27 PM EDT

@ViciaScience Yes, which has proved easier said than done with Ma departments under so much pressure to get results #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:27 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @damianainscough #asechat see Jo Boaler book developing growth mindset in maths

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:27 PM EDT

@ViciaScience I don't think this debate will ever be settled.Have to deal with the problem. SOME rote learning is not unacceptable. #asechat

teachingofsci Jun 13 @ 3:28 PM EDT

#ASEchat sorry, dealing with 11 going on 15 yo. i'm going to log off, far too stressed to be constructive now.

Yorks_Bunny Jun 13 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion @damianainscough that's what I'm finding - maths scoring points #asechat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:29 PM EDT

#asechat @stevethedoc1 @ViciaScience https://t.co/ePRhtcZz5b

JonScott46 Jun 13 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ThomasCarlPion #ASEChat Indeed! And students need specific guidance to transfer the skill.

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:29 PM EDT

#asechat I think reading and understanding graphs a greater problem than calculations.

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:30 PM EDT

@damianainscough @ViciaScience #asechat followed by her latest with carol Dweck

SteveTeachPhys Jun 13 @ 3:30 PM EDT

@jk_graves @JonScott46 need to get them to use huge. & tiny numbers as well, too often maths use small integers - no transfer #asechat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:30 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion teach formulae alongside units to help reinforce. Use units to check formula #ASEChat

@ViciaScience @ThomasCarlPion #ASEChat At times students have told me that they can only 'do' a certain piece of maths in the maths lesson

Yorks_Bunny Jun 13 @ 3:31 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall as is applying ideas to new context #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:31 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall #asechat could be solved with AKSIS resource GTGWG

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:31 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall Particularly the concept of *rate* - #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:31 PM EDT

We did this too #asechat https://t.co/SsgkGzQJYP

jk_graves Jun 13 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@JonScott46 @ThomasCarlPion spoken to maths about using science eqs in their lessons eg f=ma. small work for them but might help #asechat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:31 PM EDT

#asechat Let's keep the Ma in perspective + certainly not suggest to sts that 'maths is hard' -they seem to be finding it easier thn we thnk

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:32 PM EDT

@A_Weatherall and understanding the purposes of a graph and the relationship of variables is essential prior knowledge #ASEChat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:32 PM EDT

P3 "Knowing how to apply mathematical ideas in science is often a matter of using judgement” #asechat #LOMiS What is the purpose?

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:33 PM EDT

#asechat @stevethedoc1 @ViciaScience https://t.co/kkJLkbn2Gy

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:33 PM EDT

@JonScott46 @ThomasCarlPion Often they do not understand the task as different language used in each classroom #ASEchat

Yorks_Bunny Jun 13 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion @theASE thank you... *goes rummaging in the spare room* #asechat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion @A_Weatherall understanding the meaning of 'gradient' and a gradient can have units (in science, rarely in maths) #ASEChat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@ViciaScience But LoMiS will go a long way to solving this. How do we get it out to non-ASE members? #asechat

ellie_scicomm Jun 13 @ 3:35 PM EDT

#asechat this is a big topic in Europe to. Be great to see some of your creative teaching methods entered into https://t.co/TsEKWZyEX2

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:37 PM EDT

When should science teach standard form - before or after unit prefixes, or scale of microscopes and planets? #ASEChat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:37 PM EDT

#asechat @stevethedoc1 @ViciaScience Here it is Steve https://t.co/hB6MRscpxv @joboaler

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ThomasCarlPion agreed. The story of the graph as well. How to read it. #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@damianainscough @ViciaScience @joboaler #asechat currently on chapter 7

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion The guidance is being used by awarding bodies to review their questions and should filter down thru examinations #ASEchat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@ViciaScience Needs to be taught in tandem with the equation, not after it. Connect the meanings of the graph and the formula. #asechat

SteveTeachPhys Jun 13 @ 3:39 PM EDT

@ViciaScience often maths qs are "find %""factorise" or "rearrange" ours "blah blah number blah number blah find the % efficiency" #asechat

gregtheseal Jun 13 @ 3:39 PM EDT

@ViciaScience I would go before unit prefixes. It allows you to run into lots of areas #asechat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@ViciaScience will be pleased to hear that @ASEpublications are exploring plans to revisit 'Getting to Grips with Graphs' #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@damianainscough @ViciaScience #asechat 8 so far as providing material to encourage work with others to go for maths

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion But many graphs in science do not represent mathematical relationships. More physics that ch or biol. #ASEChat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:41 PM EDT

@gregtheseal @ViciaScience students more familiar now with unit prefixes linked to digital uses, (Mega/ giga) build on those first? #asechat

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:41 PM EDT

@joboaler Any opinions on this? https://t.co/g8l1yJmY7B New doc to support teaching of Ma in new English science GCSEs #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:41 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion @ViciaScience @ASEpublications #asechat it would be good ....... One day!!!

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:42 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @gregtheseal @ViciaScience #asechat agreed Primary understand mega gigs etc easy

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:43 PM EDT

#asechat So, how can we best use this to have impact in a busy science department? #LoMiS https://t.co/g8l1yJmY7B

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@gregtheseal so teach standard form in Y7? (Before milli, kilo, micro and mega?) This would be much earlier than maths. #ASEChat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:43 PM EDT

Has anyone found anything they think is controversial in LoMiS? I know there were a LOT of discussions on certain topics. #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@damianainscough @joboaler #LoMiS not particularly linked 2 new GCSEs, but to respond to growing disquiet with maths in science #asechat 1/2

gregtheseal Jun 13 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @ViciaScience #asechat I think lots of students have heard the words but don’t really understand what they mean.

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@ViciaScience Stage not age. I know lots of year 7s who would handle standard form and lots who couldn't. #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:44 PM EDT

#LoMiS will remain long after new GCSEs are dead and buried ideas are fundamental not to respond to exam specs #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion @ViciaScience @ASEpublications #asechat always on lookout for second hand copies for colleagues who missed it originally

damianainscough Jun 13 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @joboaler Yes - fair point - more maths in science for age 11-16 #asechat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@gregtheseal @ViciaScience Up to us to teach them, easier to start now, as words are familiar #asechat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@gregtheseal @NeedhamL56 Problems with prefixes is when asked 'how many times bigger is X than Y?', as in microscope scaling #ASEChat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:46 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion Number lines in science labs would help! #ASEChat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:47 PM EDT

@damianainscough the guide is part 1. Teaching approaches booklet to follow shortly #ASEChat

hrogerson Jun 13 @ 3:47 PM EDT

@ThomasCarlPion not yet, I think because I don't know it is controversial until I discuss it with the maths department #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:48 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ThomasCarlPion #asechat we always have rulers available!!!

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:48 PM EDT

@damianainscough M has always been there, those pages in spec often ignored, only because % stipulated has everyone out in a rash #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @damianainscough #asechat this will be the secret, need quality approaches and tasks etc

SteveTeachPhys Jun 13 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @gregtheseal we teach multipliers rather than SF with units in 7, but it's a long slog until maths 1st teach SF in Y9 #asechat

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:50 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @damianainscough The documents will be a useful resource for INSET. Joint maths and science. #asechat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:50 PM EDT

@stevethedoc1 @ThomasCarlPion Problems with scale start when look beyond the resolution of rulers, e.g. nucleus (cell or atom?) #ASEChat

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:51 PM EDT

@SteveTeachPhys @ViciaScience @gregtheseal is it because they are not ready for it *Piaget* ? runs and hides… #asechat

hrogerson Jun 13 @ 3:51 PM EDT

On Saturday Ofqual were saying that teachers in their study judged calculation questions to be harder than students found them. #asechat

A_Weatherall - Moderator Jun 13 @ 3:51 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @gregtheseal #asechat introduce it 3×10^8 m/s with Y7/8

Amie_Science Jun 13 @ 3:52 PM EDT

@damianainscough we've got more maths in our new KS3 than any previous schemes. Feedback is that students are handling it well #asechat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:52 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ThomasCarlPion #asechat ruler is simply a number line

EllieERussell Jun 13 @ 3:52 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ThomasCarlPion we'd like to use it to. It will help us standardise our publishing. Great resource #asechat

ViciaScience Jun 13 @ 3:53 PM EDT

@SteveTeachPhys @gregtheseal Often SF is reserved for higher tiers, which seems unfortunate to me #ASEChat

stevethedoc1 Jun 13 @ 3:54 PM EDT

@EllieERussell @hrogerson #asechat precisely, they can do it!!!

ThomasCarlPion Jun 13 @ 3:54 PM EDT

@Amie_Science We should give our students more credit. Teachers find change difficult but students don't know it's change! #asechat

SteveTeachPhys Jun 13 @ 3:55 PM EDT

@NeedhamL56 @ViciaScience @gregtheseal I'm a concrete vs abstract fan, but I do think Ma curric underestimate what many can do #asechat
