Adding Vectors

Word problems can make even expert mathematicians go blank. Practice solving word problems with an extended version of the GUESS method (givens, unknowns, equations, solve, substitute), which adds the steps of drawing a diagram, making...

I don't always make vector jokes, but when I do, IJK. Vector addition using multiple methods, scalar multiplication, vector subtraction, vector components, relative velocities, free body diagrams, and so much more Are covered in this...

A hands-on lesson using the TI-CBR Motion Detector to provide information to graph and analyze. The class uses this information to calculate the slope of motion graphs and differentiate scalar and vector quantities. There is a real-world...

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,...

In this interactive module, students will apply problem-solving steps and strategies to solve problems of one-dimensional kinematics. They will also apply strategies to determine whether or not the result of a problem is reasonable, and...

This activity entails the viewing of two videos to get an overview of force and its application. The activity covers how vectors use force in real-world situations.

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...

A program that will randomly move an object from one location to another in three-dimensional space. You must determine the three components of the velocity vector that is created by this movement and also the speed of the object during...

A simple example of solving for time given the distance and rate. [9:34]

Mathematicians analyze the relationships between surface area and volume. They conduct Internet research, conduct various experiments, record the data in a spreadsheet, and graph the results and compare the rate of increase of surface...
