Suitable for Grades: Pre-Calculus
CCSS: HSN.VM.A.2
CCSS Description: (+) Find the components of a vector by subtracting the coordinates of an initial point from the coordinates of a terminal point.

Column Vectors (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is designed to help learners convert between vector diagrams and written column vectors, and to explore the sum of vectors diagrammatically. Section A provides some grids with either vectors shown and blank column vectors, or the column vector given and a blank grid in need of a diagram. Section B then requires learners to draw the sum of two column vectors and then to write the sum from a diagram. An extension task asks learners to consider vectors in opposite directions and vectors of equal magnitude.
