Description

In this demo you will fold paper to make vectors in 2D and in 3D. We shall predict angles in 2D and in 3D. By measuring lengths and with vector algebra our predictions will be checked.
Using paper, we will explore learning tools I designed to help students improve their command of vectors and vector algebra.
