Abstract
The article describes the main methodological features of teaching “vector methods” in a school geometry course. In order to increase the efficiency of teaching students the vector method, the connections between the vector method and coordinate methods are analyzed. Examples of solving algebraic and geometric problems using the vector method were shown, showing the scope of vector studies covered in the school course. A brief overview of the history of the development of the vector method is given. The article is recommended for students, school teachers, methodologists and all interested parties.
