Adding the extra physical descriptions to calculus actually helped me better understand what the equations meant and represented. Definitely beneficial in some scenarios to some people
- Shared404 5y agoSame here - that experience is why I aded that exception. Until Calculus/Physics though, I don't think there's much added benefit - except maybe an occasional "here's how algebra helps while grocery shopping".
- netizen-936824 5y agoOne other thing I find super helpful is understanding exponential growth and decay. That gets used in quite a few places besides just the sciences
- jacobr1 5y agoWhen I tutored elementary kids, physical examples really helped with fractions.
- Shared404 5y agoThat makes sense. Seems reasonable that as you introduce new concepts having a physical equivalent would make it easier.
