7. Conclusion
The introduction of relative velocity into the Additional Mathematics curriculum serves as an application of vectors in real life, and a reinforcement of other more elementary mathematics topics. Teachers should take into account the learning difficulties of the weaker mathematics students. Furthermore, as this topic involves many kinematics concepts, the students’ learning difficulties involving science concepts should not be overlooked. Perhaps the science and mathematics department could work together to achieve a more fruitful learning of relative velocity.
