With many pupils and teachers currently worried about the increased mathematical content of the new GCSE specifications, The language of mathematics in science, is a timely, important and helpful publication from the Association for Science Education. It deals with every aspect of maths that 11–16-year-old pupils will meet, but pays particular attention to the language educators use.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor. 

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
