Term 1

Term 1 of the CAPS Grade 12 year covers: Number patterns, sequences and series (revision of quadratic patterns, then arithmetic and geometric sequences, sigma notation, sum to infinity), functions (formal definition, inverses, exponential and logarithmic functions), and trigonometry (compound and double-angle identities, revision of the proofs of the sine, cosine and area rules, and problems in two and three dimensions). Grade 11 general solutions are revised alongside, because compound-angle equations are solved with them.

The tests and examinations below assess this work, each paired with its memorandum where available. Write the paper under timed conditions before looking at the memo, mark yourself honestly, and redo the questions you lost marks on a few days later — that second attempt is where the learning happens.
