Provide problem-solving tools
- A research-based problem-solving approach (Identify, Set Up, Execute, Evaluate) teaches students to tackle problems thoughtfully rather than cutting straight to the math.
Reinforce problem-solving skills
- Bridging Problems use scaffolding to help students move from single-concept worked examples to multi-concept problems.
- Examples and Conceptual Examples allow students to explore problem-solving challenges.
Build conceptual understanding
- Test Your Understanding questions use a multiple-choice or ranking-task format to let students probe for common misconceptions.
- Annotated equations illustrate all key equations to help students make a connection between a conceptual and mathematical understanding of physics.
