Practice Maths Questions by Topic

Drill specific Matric Maths topics — algebra, functions, trig, calculus, stats — with AI-generated practice questions.

Targeted practice beats random practice. Choose a topic and get a fresh set of CAPS-aligned Matric questions with worked solutions. Topic practice works best with exam-level questions. Revise the method with a topic guide, move on to past-paper questions on the same topic, and finish by mixing topics so you learn to recognise which method a question needs.

Practice questions with solutions

Which topic should I start with?

  1. Start with your weakest
  2. Then drill the highest-mark topics

Answer: Weakest first.

How many questions per session?

  1. 10–15 focused questions

Answer: 10–15.

Which topics are in Paper 1?

  1. Algebra about 25 marks, sequences and series 25, functions 35
  2. Finance 15, differential calculus 35, probability 15

Answer: Six topics, 150 marks.

Which topics are in Paper 2?

  1. Statistics about 20 marks, analytical geometry 40
  2. Trigonometry 50, Euclidean geometry and measurement 40

Answer: Four topic groups, 150 marks.

How do I find my weakest topic?

  1. Write a full past paper
  2. Total your marks per topic
  3. Start with the topic where your percentage is lowest

Answer: Mark a full paper by topic.

How do I know which method a question needs?

  1. 'Nature of the roots' points to the discriminant
  2. 'Maximum' or 'minimum' in a word problem points to calculus
  3. 'Converges' or 'sum to infinity' points to a geometric series with −1 < r < 1

Answer: Key phrases point to the method.

How should I practise Euclidean geometry?

  1. Learn the theorems and the wording of their reasons first
  2. Copy the diagram and mark all the given information on it
  3. Write each statement with its reason on the same line

Answer: Theorems first, then riders with reasons.

How do I practise mixed topics?

  1. Take questions from different topics in random order
  2. Before solving, write down which method you will use
  3. Afterwards, check whether your choice of method was right

Answer: Choose the method first, then solve.

Tips

  • Focus on one topic per session for deep learning.
  • Mix topics in your final revision sprint.
