Math and Physics

This is the teacher version of the notes (set 0603 in my series)! Solutions, derivations, and discussion points are included. These notes are a blend of a conceptual and quantitative approach, although I went "light" on the quantitative material. They should provide a solid foundation upon which to build when teaching these difficult topics. As always I market my notes as a "starting place" for those who are new to teaching physics. They are designed for you to either be used "as is" or modif

These notes focus on simple projectiles. Discussion focuses on concepts, equations, and diagrams. There are 7 problems (one of which is a "mini lab") designed to foster class discussion. The problems involve mathematics, but some involve justifications and concepts as well. Text books typically contain a wealth of calculation-based problems, so not many were included here. Since this is the teacher version, all solutions are included. Recommended discussion points/teaching tips are also include

Ready to use guided notes for teachers to introduce graphing parent functions to their students. This presentation introduces the parent function and then investigates the effects adding/subtracting integers has on the parent functions. Introduces rules to transforming a parent function and then invites the student to come up with their own rules for subsequent examples.

This is a handout of guided notes to introduce students to one dimensional motion conceptually and graphically. Basic kinematics definitions and graphical analysis are emphasized. It is highly recommended going Lab 03 (also in my store) before covering this information.This is intended for an AP Physics 1 or honors physics classroom. Given the nature of these problems, the student/teacher versions are combined in one file with solutions to in-class practice problems presented at the end of the

Teacher-version of class notes. The kinematics equations are derived and emphasis is placed on using them to solve problems. Adding and subtracting one-dimensional vectors are also covered. There are notes and seven practice problems designed to facilitate class discussion. All of the problem solutions, filled in gaps, and a few points of discussion are included.

At the push of a button this spreadsheet automatically randomly generates new worksheets (and an updated key) for what we call "mad minutes." Mad minutes consists of 20 arithmetic problems that students are to complete at a relatively quick pace without a calculator. The purpose is to increase numeracy and automaticity. I've even used these in Calculus to enhance students' number sense. I can add other worksheets/functionality if requested and I will release updates free of charge.

This includes all of the information of the student version but with the "blanks" filled in. Links to two relevant videos are included as well as an idea for a (very) simple demonstration. The solutions to all of the problems are included. Notes to the instructor are in blue text. Problem solutions are in red text. The file is unlocked so that it can be edited to fit your needs. As always, these notes are presented as a "starting point" or a "foundation" to build on. They are generally targete

The problems involve mathematics, but some involve justifications and concepts as well. Text books typically contain a wealth of calculation-based problems, so not many were included here. These notes assume that the maths of 2D vectors have already been discussed. Please remember these notes are a "starting p

These are the student version of the 1D Kinematics notes for objects in free fall. The file is unlocked so that it can be edited to fit your needs. I would view this as a template or a "starting point." The teacher version includes teaching points, links to two relevant videos, an idea for a (very) simple demonstration, and solutions to all of the "blanks" in the notes as well as solutions to all of the problems.

There are notes and seven practice problems designed to facilitate class discussion. The teacher version with all of the problem solutions, filled in gaps, and a few points of discussion is available for purchase as a separate file.

This is identical to the student version, only the solutions to the practice problems are provided.

In-class notes to be distributed to students. This covers important prerequisite information before diving into the physics.
