We define covariational reasoning as the ability to correlate changes in two connected variables. For example, the ability to describe the height of fluid in an odd-shaped vessel as a function of fluid volume requires covariational reasoning skills. Covariational reasoning ability is an essential resource for gaining a deep understanding of the physics of motion. We have developed an approach for teaching physical science to in-service math and science high school teachers that emphasizes covariational reasoning. Several examples of covariation and results from a small cohort of local teachers will be presented.
