KEY WORDS :
Scalar quantities, vector quantities, collinear, co-planner, direction ratio, direction cosines, co-initial,
PROCEDURE :
Start the session by asking the questions related to the quantities around us and start differentiating the quantities whether they have magnitude or direction or both. Now introduce the topic vector step by step as follows.
Introduction of vectors, definition of scalar and vector quantities and making the different lists of scalar and vector quantities around us.
Scalar: The quantities which has only magnitude are called scalar quantities, for example distance.
Vector: The quantities which has magnitude and direction both are called vector quantities, for example displacement.
Explain the different types of vectors, like equal, unit, zero, negative, parallel , co-initial and collinear vectors. Give their definitions with examples.
Method of finding unit vectorLet any vector a is given by
Magnitude of this vector is given by 
Now divide the given vector by its magnitude then we get a unit vector in the direction of the given vector.


Explain the method of finding the position vector of a point, by giving some examples and explain the method of finding the magnitude of a vector.
Define direction angles, cosines and direction ratios. Explain the concept by taking an example of a general vector.
Direction angles:
These are the angles made by the vector with the positive direction of the axis.
Direction cosines:
Cosines of the direction angles are called direction cosines.
Direction cosines:
Direction ratios:
The terms which are proportional to the direction cosines are called direction ratios. These are denoted by (a, b, c)
For Example:
Let any vector
Its magnitude is given by
Where a, b, c are the direction ratios of the vector
The direction cosines of the given vector is given by
Explain the triangle law and parallelogram law of vector addition, also explain the different properties of vector addition.
Explain the method of multiplication of a vector with a scalar.
Explain the components of vectors along x-axis, y-axis, z-axis and explain the formation of the vector in terms of components.
Explain the section formula for internal and external division and then explain the mid-point formula.
Explain the centroid of triangle
Product of two vectors :
Scalar or Dot product of two vectors
Two vectors are perpendicular if
Now Explain the concept of projection of a vector on a line and
Explain the method of finding the area of parallelogram and triangle by using vector algebra. Also explain the Lagrange’s identities.
Area of triangle =
