Overview

This is the whole Year 12 algebra year, rebuilt for revision and pitched as the bridge to university — crossed on proof, not on luck. Fifty-seven pages take a student from algebraic fractions and partial fractions, through the modulus and piecewise functions, into e and the natural logarithm, complex numbers, matrices and the art of proof — then straight into an Exam Lab that rehearses it all under pressure.

It is designed to be skimmed in thirty minutes the night before a test, or worked through properly in two to four hours for a genuine, lasting grip on the year. Every calculation and worked solution has been verified, and the coverage is checked against the shared core of the UK, US, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and Singapore programmes.

Who it’s for

  • Students in Year 12 / Grade 12 (ages 16–18) preparing for A-level, IB and equivalent exams
  • Anyone who finished the Year 11 crash course and is ready for the final level
  • Parents looking for a rigorous, screen-light revision resource that actually gets used
  • Anyone moving between the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Singapore systems

Topics included

  • Algebraic Fractions, Level Three — heavy simplification, partial fractions and rational graphs
  • The Modulus & Piecewise Functions — |x| defined, modulus equations and inequalities, and piecewise rules
  • e & the Natural Logarithm — the number e, ln and its laws, and continuous growth
  • Complex Numbers — i, conjugates and division, complex roots and the Argand diagram
  • Matrices — arithmetic, multiplication, the determinant and inverse, systems and transformations
  • Proof & the Final Toolkit — deduction, counterexample, exhaustion, contradiction and the binomial series
  • Exam Lab — word problems, a 24-question mixed review and full solutions

What your child will be able to do

  • Split expressions into partial fractions and graph rational functions
  • Solve modulus equations and inequalities and work with piecewise functions
  • Use e and the natural logarithm to model continuous growth
  • Compute with complex numbers and plot them on the Argand diagram
  • Multiply and invert matrices, and choose the right method of proof

What’s inside

Formula library
Glowing formula cards: the rule, what it means, when to use it, why it works, and a worked example.
3-level worked examples
Every method shown at three levels of difficulty, so the step up is never a cliff.
Trap-and-fix pairs
The wrong working beside the right working, so misconceptions get corrected on sight.
Numbered key facts
The non-negotiables of the year, numbered in sequence for fast last-minute review.
The Mistake Museum
Twelve exhibits of the errors that cost real marks, each one defused.
Exam Lab + cheat sheets
Word problems, worked missions, a 24-question mixed review with solutions, and two cheat sheets.
