Students learn how to perform addition and subtraction with column vectors using diagrams.  Later, as learning progresses they use algebraic methods to write multiple translations as a single column vector.

Differentiated Learning Objectives

• All students should be able to represent a column vector as a translation on a grid.
• Most students should be able to use algebraic methods to add and subtract with column vectors.
• Some students should be able to solve identities involving column vectors.
