Free Year 12 Calculus Worksheets

8 free calculus resources for Year 12: 5 worksheets, 3 study guides. Answers included.

Differentiation and integration. 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 antiderivatives of polynomial, linear-power, exponential, reciprocal and trigonometric functions; evaluating definite integrals using the fundamental theorem of calculus; finding the area between a curve and the x-axis, including regions below the axis; finding the area between two curves and approximating area with the trapezoidal rule.

Common questions

What do Year 12 students learn about calculus?

Differentiation and integration. 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.
