Vectors: Parallel, Same Line & Ratio Problems – Maths Worksheet Pack

This advanced vector worksheet pack from Anselhill Academy develops students’ confidence with vector proofs and ratio problems, a key skill set required for higher-level GCSE Maths questions.

The resource guides students step-by-step through:

• Identifying when vectors are parallel

• Proving points lie on the same straight line (collinear)

• Using vectors to divide a line segment in a given ratio

• Applying the section formula for midpoints and internal/external division

• Solving structured proof-based questions with clarity and precision

Clear explanations, consistent notation, and worked examples ensure students understand both the method and the reasoning behind each result.
