What is the Math Toolkit and Why do I need to include this unit in my physics or physical science course?

The Math toolkit Unit is designed to help your physics students review essential content in their math, problem-solving, unit converting, and laboratory practice skills before digging into all that great content. This is a great unit to start the year out with to ensure your students have all the prerequisite knowledge they need to be successful in the class.

Teaching and Planning Made Easy

All the planning, content creation, solutions, and assessment building, unit guide design, etc is done for you with this unit. Simply print and teach. I have done all the planning work so that you can focus on being the great teacher you are!
