Description
Students often have difficulty connecting problems in physics with their respective mathematical representation. Numerous studies have been conducted on this topic, but were almost exclusively focused on high school and college physics students. The sample size in this study is focused on 14-year-old elementary school students. A statistically significant positive correlation was obtained for analyzed relationships between mathematical competencies and achievements in physics (overall physics exam scores vs. overall mathematics exam scores, overall physics exam scores vs. math grades of sample students), suggesting that the latter are strongly entangled from the earliest age at which physics is taught.
