Have students translate and solve other word problems into vector representations using the simulation. This will give them a solid understanding of the different applications of vectors and how they are added. Examples of problems given to the students are the final position of a person who walks in several different directions (i.e., 100m N, 189m SW etc.), or the final position of a person swimming across a stream with the water flowing one way and the person swimming another way. In some of the questions, the resultant vector could be provided and students could be asked to solve for one of the added vectors. These exercises will give students a good framework in which to introduce the geometric, algebraic, and trigonometric skills needed to perform the same procedures mathematically.
