Abstract
This project aimed to identify and implement pedagogical strategies designed to
 facilitate the transfer of numeracy and mathematical skills and knowledge to science
 disciplines. To achieve this aim a review of the literature was conducted that yielded
 numerous teaching and learning strategies for successful transfer of knowledge
 across contexts with potential to use in the sciences. Six strategies were chosen by
 lecturers and academic developers for field testing in science courses because they
 met three main criteria: 1) they were relevant to the course context; 2) they were
 practical and accessible to lecturers; and 3) they were effective in helping students
 see the connections between mathematics and science.Date
