Instructional Ideas

• Work through one problem in each set together as a class before assigning the rest as independent work

Classroom Considerations

• Display adjusts to fit any size screen
• Relies on prior knowledge of the Impulse and Momentum Change Theorem
• Part of a larger series on Momentum and Collisions
• Exercises require thinking and reasoning
  

Pros

• Works well in a traditional or flipped classroom
• Uses colors and shapes to display progress and concepts pupils struggle with

Cons

• None
