This worksheet scaffolds the addition of column vectors through several sections, including worked examples throughout.

Section A begins the exercise by asking learners to with the column vector for the resultant of two vectors displayed on a grid. Section B then asks learners to draw and write the resultant vector for the sum of two column vectors.

Section C then asks learners to write the resultant vector for some column vector additions.

Section D then introduces multiples to give parallel vectors.

Section E leads learners through the subtraction of vectors by adding the negative vector.

Section F then provides some column vector subtractions.

Section G provides a mixture of vector additions and subtractions with multiples.

Finally, section H presents a “spot the mistake and correct” question.
