Description
The interplay between mathematics and physics in teaching and learning physics is attributed to a distinct domain, "Physmatics," encompassing unique skills and thinking modes. Students often face difficulties in this domain, yet these difficulties and their link to physmatic skills remain underexplored. This study analyzed recordings of high school physics lessons to identify connections between physmatic skills teachers aim to develop and students' exhibited difficulties. The findings reveal a system of relationships between these skills and difficulties, offering insights to enhance physics teachers' physmatic pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).
