Abstract | Making meaning with math in physics requires blending physical conceptual knowledge with mathematical symbology. Students in introductory physics classes often struggle with this, but it is an essential component of learning how to think with math. Teaching the dimensionality of measured quantities and dimensional analysis (DA) is a valuable first step in helping them learn to appreciate this difference. In this article, the author discuses some of the issues associated with learning dimensional analysis and show some ways educators can modify their instruction to help. This article is one of a series on how to help students develop the scientific thinking skills required for learning to use math in science. (ERIC). |
