Lesson Plan: Parallel and Perpendicular Vectors in Space Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to recognize parallel and perpendicular vectors in space.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- identify parallel and perpendicular vectors,
- find a vector component given that two vectors are parallel or perpendicular.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- the scalar product of two vectors,
- the vector product of two vectors,
- the vector form of a straight line.
