How do vectors help make problem solving more efficient? Math scholars use vectors to represent different phenomenon and calculate resultant vectors to answer questions. Problems vary from modeling airplane motion to the path of a...

What does it take to build a stable arch? Pupils apply vectors and physics as they examine arched bridges and their structural integrity. They use vectors to represent the forces acting on the stone sections and make conclusions based on...

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

In this vectors worksheet, students determine the amount of work it takes to move objects, they determine if vectors are parallel or orthogonal and identify the displacement direction and the force direction. This one-page worksheet...

High schoolers listen to a lecture and complete a number of problems as they go. There are a variety of examples given and they are guided through the problem solving steps for each of the real-world scenarios regarding the purpose of...

Represent motion with arrows and call them vectors! The lesson is a presentation that models the mathematics involved when determining a resultant vector. It addrssses motions that are parallel, perpendicular, and a combination of...

This activity checks that you are able to add and subtract vectors, calculate the dot and cross product of vectors, and multiply or divide vectors by scalars.

Kids learn about basic vector math in the science of physics. How to add vectors using the head-to-tail method and the Pythagorean theorem. Example problems and the commutative and associative laws.
