An Experiment To Give Physical Meaning to the Mathematical Concept of Slope.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Newburgh, Ronald – Physics Education, 2001
Presents a simple experiment that allows students to determine a slope from a series of measurements rather than from a given equation in which students measure heights and widths for a set of paper rectangles, all with the same width. Students calculate areas and plot area versus height from the data. (Author/ASK)

Converting Equations and Graphs into Real Motion with Web-Based Interactive Activities.
Chien, Cheng-Chih – 2000
The physics learning problem that students usually regard equations and other symbols in physics as algebraic exercises rather than representations of real world phenomena is commonly known. This article discusses how the Web-based interactive instructional materials were used to help students connect the symbolic world and the real world. The…

Smith, David Eugene; Goldziher, Charles – United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, 1912
Among teachers of mathematics throughout the world there has recently been manifested a notable increase of interest in all educational work. This interest is due in part to the present general agitation in every educational line, in part to the influence of such related departments as physics, in part to the increased demands of industry, and in…
