Page 2: Algebraic Vectors
This page explains vector representation and addition in mathematics, showing how vectors can be equal and combined.
Vocabulary: Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction.
Highlight: Vector addition is demonstrated through the relationship a + b = c, where vectors can be combined to form new vectors.

Page 3: Simultaneous Equations
The page demonstrates solving simultaneous equations using substitution and elimination methods.
Example: Two sets of equations are solved:
6x + 3y = 21 and 2x + 3y = 17
2x + y = 4 and 3x - y = 8
Highlight: Solutions show step-by-step working to find values for x and y.

Page 4: Inverse Proportion
This section explains the concept of inverse proportion and its mathematical representation.
Definition: When two quantities are inversely proportional, as one increases, the other decreases in proportion so their product remains constant.
Formula: A = k/B, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Page 5: Direct Proportion
The page covers direct proportion relationships between variables.
Definition: Two quantities are directly proportional when they increase or decrease in the same ratio.
Example: Using y = kx, when y = 20 and x = 5, finding k = 4 to solve for other values.

Page 6: Expanding Brackets
This section focuses on expanding algebraic expressions with single and squared terms.
Highlight: Special attention is given to squared terms, noting that they must be multiplied by themselves.
Example: 2x+1$$3x+3 is expanded to 6x² + 13x + 3
