Grade 12 Mathematics lessons

This is the Grade 12 Mathematics lesson library. Each lesson covers a single topic and follows the same pattern: the key ideas and formulas, worked examples with every step shown, the mistakes that most often lose marks, and practice questions with full answers.

The current lessons cover algebra (indices, quadratic equations and simultaneous equations), trigonometry in non-right-angled triangles, and statistics and probability. Work through a topic in order, attempt the practice questions before opening the answers, then test yourself on past papers.

The lessons are written for learners preparing for Grade 12 mathematics examinations. Always check the topic list against the syllabus your school follows.

How to use these lessons

Learn, practise, then test yourself

  1. Read the ideaStart with the key points and formulas so you know what the topic is about.
  2. Follow the examplesWork through each example on paper, one line at a time, before moving on.
  3. Try before you peekAttempt every practice question first. Open the answers only to check.
  4. Practise on real papersWhen the topic feels comfortable, move to past papers and the quiz bank.
