Euclidean Geometry is now an extremely important part of the Maths curriculum. In the past it formed part of Maths Paper 3, which was an optional subject in Grade 12. Since then, Euclidean Geometry has been re-introduced as a compulsory topic and assessed in Maths Paper 2.
In order for learners to perform well in Geometry at the higher levels (Grade 11 and 12), is essential for them to first have a thorough understanding of the basic concepts studied in their earlier years. This understanding is acquired through initial investigative activities involving constructions and measurement of lines and angles. This leads on to the development of geometrical properties and theorems which can be applied in the solving of advanced problems including riders.
This workbook encourages the use of constructions as a basis for the understanding of properties and theorems. The examples presented are numerous and cover all aspects of the content studied. All of the exercises are graded from easy to more challenging problems. Learners can work in the spaces provided in the statement-reason columns. The teacher's guide contains detailed solutions to all of the exercises. It is essentially the learner's book with all of the answers filled in.
The reasons outlined in the DoE Maths Grade 12 exam guidelines are strictly adhered to ensure that learners get used to using these recommended reasons.
