Lesson: Vector Operations in 2D Mathematics

In this lesson, we will learn how to perform operations on vectors algebraically such as vector addition, vector subtraction, and scalar multiplication in two dimensions.

Lesson Plan

Objectives

Students will be able to

combine addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication of 2D vectors.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

2D vectors represented graphically, in vector form, and in terms of the fundamental unit vectors,
adding and subtracting vectors in 2D,
performing scalar multiplication on 2D vectors,
the magnitude of vectors in 2D.
