Coordinate Geometry, Vectors & Transformations

Coordinate geometry is a vital math component as it combines the knowledge of both, algebra and geometry, using lines and expressing the equations in algebraic form. An important aspect of math, it enables the location of points in a plane and has its application in other branches of math like calculus and trigonometry. Transformations focus on the movement and orientation of an object in a plane. These spatial movements enable altering the shape and placement of an object and help in spatial reasoning.

 

The foundation for these starts in school where learners are introduced to different transformations and graphs of equations. However, as the years progress, the difficulty levels significantly increase and the expectations of knowledge become more complex.

 

The Cambridge 0607 International math curriculum that requires students to develop an in-depth knowledge of geometry and trigonometry. The course contains topics like distance formula, equation of a line, and transformations like reflection, rotation, enlargements, stretches, and so on.

 

With the complexity levels increasing, students are expected to visualize several equations and transformations and then perform calculations. Keeping this in mind, there are several videos in the pre-IB math course where the concepts have been explained in detail making understanding for the students easy. Additionally, the small quizzes will help the students gain confidence in each concept before they move to the next.

 

The course will help students learn the basic concepts required for the Cambridge Upper Secondary Program. With many learners having different learning abilities, this course will serve as a revision guide as well as enable students to study the content at their pace, while preparing them in depth for the upcoming examination.
