Use these evidence-based tips to help your learners get ahead with chemical calculations
Chemical calculations are notoriously challenging for students. To solve these problems, students need to apply knowledge of both chemistry and mathematics. A recent study has extended the mathematical modelling cycle (MMC) to visualise student problem-solving trajectories. It recognises the importance of students developing mathematical fluency in a context-free environment, but also identifies the importance of their doing so in a chemistry context.
