Parallel and Perpendicular Vector Search WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 10, Year 11
GCSE Tier: Higher
Targeting grades: 6-7
Prerequisite knowledge: Column vectors, scalar multiples of vectors
Learning Objective: Recognising parallel and perpendicular vectors

Parallel and Perpendicular Vector Search WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This activity is designed to get learners to recognise parallel and perpendicular column vectors. Learners need to circle pairs of parallel vectors in black and perpendicular vectors in blue. There are six pairs of each to find. Learners should consider multiples and what makes two vectors perpendicular.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students should be comfortable working with column vectors and understanding scalar multiples of vectors before tackling this activity. These prerequisite skills are essential because recognising parallel vectors involves identifying when one vector is a scalar multiple of another, while perpendicular vectors require understanding of how column vector components relate to each other.
