this paper,we argue that there can be a trade-off between emphasizing mathematical sense-making andemphasizing traditional problem-solving, both of which we define more carefully below.Our data come from the first-semester physics course taken by almost all engineering majors atBig University. One section, taught by an experienced, well-regarded professor, emphasized“traditional” quantitative problem solving (Instructor A). Two other sections, one taught by anovice instructor (Instructor B) and the other taught by an instructor experienced with “active-learning” pedagogy (Instructor C), emphasized mathematical sense-making. Our evidence showsthat traditional problem solving and mathematical sense-making do not automatically reinforceeach other

uncertainty in measurement (“GUM”).Students advance through a rotation of experiments that involve topics from mechanics, optics,electronics and quantum optics. The course follows a progressive structure by starting withconceptually simpler experiments designed to show the effects that the design of the experimentcan have on the final result and its uncertainty. These early labs allow students to focus onconcepts including Type A and Type B uncertainties; systematic errors; standard uncertainty andcombined standard uncertainty; coverage factor; and the propagation of uncertainty. Studentsalso begin to track uncertainty with a rudimentary uncertainty budget. For the rest of the course,the experiments become more open-ended and complex, and the
