Vectors
Students are presented with a conventional snakes and ladder board with squares from one to a hundred, except that the board contains no snakes and no ladders. Instead, certain squares contain a column vector. Students who land on these squares move their counter according to the vector.

Vectors
This video resource from Teachers TV is presented by Wendy Fortescue-Hubbard who demonstrates some practical applications of vectors. Heather Reinecke, Head of Mathematics at Coombe Dean School in Plymouth, introduces vectors to a class of higher tier Year Ten students, who measure two sides of a right angled...
Vectors
This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring dynamics. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

Vectors
Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of vectors, often used in the field of engineering. They include descriptions of the notation often used to describe vectors and how to calculate the modulus of vector given in cartesian form, as well as how to calculate scaler and vector products.

This interactive excel sheet deals with a variety of vector topics. It begins with sheets which require students to identify column vectors from line...
Vectors
From the Nuffield Foundation, the object of this module is to provide a simple introduction to the idea of a vector. Students need to be familiar with the co-ordinates module before starting this module. The development makes use of a number of simple (vector) grid...
Secondary mathematics series from the 1970s.
Vectors *suitable for home teaching*
Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of vectors and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include an introduction to vectors, calculating the vector and scalar...
Vectors 2
The first two sheets use maps of New York to show how vectors can be used to specify journeys. Answers in terms of a and b can be revealed.
The third sheet shows that the vectors a and b used to describe relative...
