Vectors: Traveling, But in What Direction

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...

Check out the handout from a presentation that contains a collection of high school algebra projects connecting a variety of mathematics to the real world. Activities range from simple probabilities to calculus. The activities can be...

Investigate vectors and learn how to use them. Explore why size and direction, as well as knowing speed and distance, are important components of the vector problems you are trying to solve. This is an extensive lesson which includes six...

There may be a right answer, but there isn't one right way to solve the problem. This video goes through a word problem and solves it in three ways: algebraically, numerically, and graphically. Go step by step as the narrator explains...

y=kx. This is the direct variation equation. You have been given a table of values. So look at the table and figure out how to use this equation to write an equation that represents what is happening in the table. Does the equation...

Using rates from a rental car company, young mathematicians graph data, explore linear relationships, and discuss the role of slope and the y-intercept. This lesson allows for the discussion of independent and dependent variables, as...

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

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.

Direct variation is explored in this video lesson. The tutorial provides three detailed examples of real-world direct variation. Students can check their understanding with a short quiz. [13:54]

Students investigate the relationship between vectors and motion. In this geometry lesson, students create a system that exemplifies the principles of motion. They solve for the acceleration, velocity and displacement.
