Last week I had one student come into my office hours on Thursday afternoon. She had trouble with a problem from the homework regarding vector addition. I told her she could break up each vector into its own triangle and draw these separately. Then use trig to to find the x and y values for each vector making sure to pay close attention to direction (positive or negative). This made sense to her and after we worked through the x-values summation she was able to do the y-values and resultant vector on her own.
