Description
This worksheet is for practice adding and subtracting vectors. There are two vectors, u and v, shown on the left side of the screen. On the right side of the screen you are told to draw a vector that is either the sum or the difference of the two vectors on the left. Move the blue dot to make a vector matching the proper sum or difference.
