Vectors
This interactive excel sheet deals with a variety of vector topics. It begins with sheets which require students to identify column vectors from line segments and then to find the magnitude and direction of vectors expressed in column form.
The next interactive sheets illustrate the fact that a+nb lies on a straight line and finding the point of intersection of two straight lines. Later sheets deal with some vector geometry topics including the mid-point of a line, the centroid of a triangle and parallelogram formed by the midpoints of a quadrilateral.
There are a further eight sheets of questions on a number of different vector topics which may be duplicated for classroom use.
The second Vectors resource can be found in the Virtual Textbook: Post-16 collection.
