Introduction
In this activity you will learn about vectors. Vectors are quantities that
have both magnitude (size) and direction and are represented as
arrows. If you have ever given directions to someone such as, "go
one mile that way, take a right, go two miles, then take a left,"
you have described displacement vectors. In this activity you will
first learn how to combine different vectors in various ways to
locate a buried treasure. Then you will learn how to describe
vectors as pairs of numbers. Finally, you will bury your own
treasure and desribe the path using vectors to locate it.
