Highlights: a module to help students build physical intuition by learning to read the physics in graphs
Abstract: Graphs are a mathematical representation that builds on visual recognition to create a bridge between words and equations. If graphs are used appropriately, they can be a powerful tool in helping students learn to build the blend between physical concepts and mathematical symbology to develop their physical intuition and ability to think with math. This unit contains lots of materials to help students learn to put the physics into graphs: 9 short readings, 6 group learning activities, 115 homework problems with solutions and 50 exam problems from across the curriculum.
Resource Types: Instructor supplement, Restricted access, Student reading, In-class activity, Homework, Exam problem
