Download the PowerPoint here Ok, so I found a bit of time today and put this together. It’s very basic, but covers finding ‘routes’ using vector geometry. It also covers midpoints. There’s not enough practise here, but that was deliberate. I would set them key skill K652/K653 on Dr Frost Maths to reinforce this skill.… Read More: Introduction to vector geometry »
Download the PowerPoint here There’s two nice tasks here, and some presentation that I’m proud of. For instance, I tried to build up the difficulty here pretty gradually. There’s also room for discussion on the magnitude of vertical and horizontal lines. Moving to the skill we really want I thought this was a clever way… Read More: Magnitude of a vector »
Download the PowerPoint here Three example problem pairs, and three exercises covering the basics of vectors. Notation, adding and multiplying. There’s probably two lessons here. No real vector geometry, which I find so difficult to teach. I’m going to need to do a bit of research before I tackle that. I quite like these questions… Read More: Column Vectors »
