Introduction to Via Afrika Mathematics Grade 12 Study Guide

Woohoo! You made it! If you’re reading this it means that you made it through Grade 11,
and are now in Grade 12. But I guess you are already well aware of that…

It also means that your teacher was brilliant enough to get the Via Afrika Mathematics
Grade 12 Learner’s Book. This study guide contains summaries of each chapter, and should
be used side-by-side with the Learner’s Book. It also contains lots of extra questions to
help you master the subject matter.

Mathematics – not for spectators
You won’t learn anything if you don’t involve yourself in the subject-matter actively. Do
the maths, feel the maths, and then understand and use the maths.

Understanding the principles
• Listen during class. This study guide is brilliant but it is not enough. Listen to your
teacher in class as you may learn a unique or easy way of doing something.
• Study the notation, properly. Incorrect use of notation will be penalised in tests
and exams. Pay attention to notation in our worked examples.
• Practise, Practise, Practise, and then Practise some more. You have to practise
as much as possible. The more you practise, the more prepared and confident you
will feel for exams. This guide contains lots of extra practice opportunities.
• Persevere. We can’t all be Einsteins, and even old Albert had difficulties learning
some of the very advanced Mathematics necessary to formulate his theories. If you
don’t understand immediately, work at it and practise with as many problems from
this study guide as possible. You will find that topics that seem baffling at first,
suddenly make sense.
• Have the proper attitude. You can do it!

The AMA of Mathematics

ABILITY is what you’re capable of doing.
MOTIVATION determines what you do.
ATTITUDE determines how well you do it.


“Pure Mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” Albert Einstein
