Vectors in the plane
Find out how vectors can be used to describe motion and carry out calculations: a key concept that links geometry, algebra and trigonometry.
Collinearity and alignment
Learn how to identify two collinear vectors and how to use coordinates to show that points lie on the same line or that two lines are parallel.
The scalar product
Discover the scalar product and learn how to calculate it in various ways to demonstrate orthogonality and determine lengths or angles.
Applications of the scalar product
Use the dot product to calculate angles, prove perpendicularity and solve any type of triangle using efficient methods.
Vectors in space
Has a thorough understanding of vectors in three-dimensional space: coordinates, collinearity, coplanarity and the dot product, together with the key methods of three-dimensional geometry.
The vector product
Find out how the cross product can be used to construct a vector perpendicular to two others, to calculate areas and volumes, and to solve problems in solid geometry.

Reference functions
Discover the affine, square, inverse and square root functions: their definitions, variations and graphs, to build a solid foundation in analysis.
Direction of variation of a function
Learn how to determine whether a function is increasing or decreasing, and how to summarise its behaviour in a table of variations.
Divisibility, multiples and divisors
Learn how to recognise the multiples and divisors of a number, how to use the criteria for divisibility, and how to factorise a number into prime factors, with simple examples and pitfalls to avoid.
Fractions: meaning and representation
Find out what a fraction really is, how to read it, where to place it on a number line and how to compare it with others, using examples from everyday life.
Discovering Algebra
Performing calculations with letters, simplifying an expression, solving a linear equation. A natural progression from the basics of arithmetic.
