Vectors

How exactly does touch help us identify items? High schoolers test this question by feeling a coin without moving their fingers and trying to determine if it is heads or tails. They test their accuracy by rubbing their fingers on the...

Here is a math lab that helps young mathematicians understand the real-life meaning for vector addition. By building a model using spring scales and washers as weight, and then calculating the vector addition using two different methods,...

Three levels of practice assure scholar mastery of vector addition. After inputting an incorrect answer, another problem replaces it so everyone finds success. The lesson works as one part of a series on vectors and projectiles.

In this interactive site, students will begin to understand the rules of vector addition, subtraction, and multiplication and apply graphical methods of vector addition and subtraction to determine the displacement of moving objects.

Explore adding vectors by dragging objects on a canvas. Adding vectors can be easy with this Vector Guessing Game Interactive. Students can improve their understanding and skill at adding vectors using the head-to-tail method.

In this interactive students will begin to understand the rules of vector addition and subtraction using analytical methods. They will apply analytical methods to determine vertical and horizontal component vectors.

An extensive discussion of vector addition with links to interactives and exercises.

Learn how to add vectors. Drag vectors onto a graph, change their length and angle, and sum them together. The magnitude, angle, and components of each vector can be displayed in several formats.

Map the velocity of a thrown football using physics! Learners study vector addition using a football scenario. Two vectors model the movement of the receiver and quarterback while the resulting vector describes the velocity of the...

Learn to analyze vector addition on graph paper through multiple levels of practice problems. Pupils begin with two component addition and move through three and four components to prove mastery as one part of a series on vectors and...
