This is a Mathematics Grade 12 provincial standardised assessment from KwaZulu-Natal, dated March 2026. Question 1 covers a quadratic number pattern, including finding the first term, the general term, and which terms of the first differences sequence have a given product. Question 2 covers geometric sequences and sigma notation. Question 3 uses a physiotherapy running programme that increases by three minutes each week to test number pattern applications.

Key terms covered include quadratic number patterns, the general term, geometric sequences, sigma notation, and arithmetic sequences applied to real life contexts.
The paper consists of 7 pages plus an information sheet, and has 9 questions. Question 1 covers a quadratic number pattern. Question 2 covers geometric sequences and sigma notation. Question 3 applies number patterns to a running programme.
By the end of this paper, learners should be able to determine the general term of a quadratic number pattern, work with geometric sequences and sigma notation, and apply number patterns to real life situations such as a structured exercise programme.
