Free Year 12 Algebra Worksheets

10 free algebra resources for Year 12: 6 worksheets, 4 study guides. Answers included.

Patterns, expressions, equations, functions and graphs. In Year 12, Year 12 is the final year, assessed for the HSC, VCE, QCE, WACE, SACE or equivalent.

Students will practise: finding stationary points by solving f′(x) = 0; classifying stationary points with the second derivative or a sign table; finding points of inflection and intervals where a function is increasing or decreasing; setting up and solving optimisation problems, including justifying the maximum or minimum; finding the constant k in N = N₀eᵏᵗ from two data points; predicting a quantity at a later time and finding the time to reach a given value; calculating half-life, doubling time and the rate of change dN/dt = kN; converting between the forms N = N₀aᵗ and N = N₀eᵏᵗ.

Common questions

What do Year 12 students learn about algebra?

Patterns, expressions, equations, functions and graphs. At Year 12, our resources focus on: finding stationary points by solving f′(x) = 0; classifying stationary points with the second derivative or a sign table; finding points of inflection and intervals where a function is increasing or decreasing; setting up and solving optimisation problems, including justifying the maximum or minimum.

Where should we start?

Read the study guide first, then start with the Level 1 or Level 2 worksheet. Finish with the topic test.

Are answers included?

Yes — every worksheet has an answer sheet. Maths answer sheets show the working; English tasks include model answers or success criteria.

How to use these resources

  1. Start with the Level 1 worksheet for the topic — if it's easy, move up a level.
  2. Use the answer sheet's working, not just the final answer, to check the method.
  3. Finish a topic with the topic test to see whether the skill is secure.
  4. Two or three short sessions a week beat one long one.
