Grade 12 Financial Maths — Exam Preparation (Video)
Financial Maths revision: compound growth, annuities, and loan repayments — the guaranteed Section A marks of Paper 1.
Financial Maths is the most predictable section of Paper 1 — the same formulas, dressed in different stories.
Before you watch, memorise:
- Compound: A = P(1 + i)ⁿ
- Future value annuity: F = x[(1+i)ⁿ − 1]/i
- Present value annuity: P = x[1 − (1+i)⁻ⁿ]/i
While you watch: note how the video translates words into the calculator sequence — most marks are lost on order-of-operations slips, not on theory.
After: build a timeline sketch for one sinking-fund question and one home-loan question. The timeline is what turns a confusing story into a formula.
