This focused practice guide breaks down the key calculation topics into 12 manageable sections, each packed with tips, common pitfalls and worked examples that reinforce the methods you need to master.
扎实的计算能力是 IGCSE OCR 数学取得成功的基础。无论你是在不允许使用计算器的试卷中答题，还是在计算器试卷中充分利用计算器，数字、代数和基本几何的准确性、速度与熟练度都至关重要。这本专项练习指南将关键的计算主题分为 12 个易于掌握的章节，每节都包含技巧、常见陷阱和强化方法的典型示例，帮助你彻底掌握所需知识。
1. Order of Operations (BIDMAS) | 运算顺序 (BIDMAS)
Always follow the correct order: Brackets, Indices (powers), Division and Multiplication (working left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right). A common mistake is to add before multiplying, for example 3 + 4 × 2 is 11, not 14. Use BIDMAS to decide the sequence.
一定要遵循正确的运算顺序：括号、指数（乘方）、除法和乘法（从左到右计算）、加法和减法（从左到右计算）。一个常见错误是在乘法之前先做加法，例如 3 + 4 × 2 等于 11，而不是 14。请使用 BIDMAS 来决定计算顺序。
When inputs involve negative numbers and squares, be careful: (−3)² = 9, but −3² = −9 because the index applies only to the 3. In algebra, 2x² means 2 × (x squared), not (2x) squared.
当涉及负数和平方时务必小心：(−3)² = 9，但 −3² = −9，因为指数只作用于 3。在代数中，2x² 表示 2 × (x 的平方)，而不是 (2x) 的平方。
Write out each step clearly. A horizontally written problem like 8 + 2 × (3² − 1) ÷ 4 simplifies as: brackets first → 3² − 1 = 9 − 1 = 8; then division and multiplication left to right → 2 × 8 ÷ 4 = 16 ÷ 4 = 4; finally addition → 8 + 4 = 12.
清晰地写出每一步。像 8 + 2 × (3² − 1) ÷ 4 这样的横式可以这样简化：先算括号 → 3² − 1 = 9 − 1 = 8；然后从左到右做乘除 → 2 × 8 ÷ 4 = 16 ÷ 4 = 4；最后做加法 → 8 + 4 = 12。
2. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages | 分数、小数与百分数
Be completely comfortable converting between the three forms. A fraction means division: 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 = 75%. For mixed numbers, convert to an improper fraction first: 1 ½ = 3/2 = 1.5. Percentages to decimals: 6% = 0.06; 6.5% = 0.065.
要能熟练地在三种形式之间转换。分数就是除法：3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 = 75%。对于带分数，先化成假分数：1 ½ = 3/2 = 1.5。百分数化小数：6% = 0.06；6.5% = 0.065。
Adding fractions requires a common denominator. For 2/3 + 1/4, use 12: (8/12 + 3/12) = 11/12. When multiplying, simply multiply numerators and denominators; simplify before multiplying if possible, e.g. 3/5 × 10/9 = 30/45 = 2/3, or cancel the 3 and the 5 to get 3/5 × 10/9 = (1×2)/(5×3)? Actually, 3/5 × 10/9: 3 and 9 cancel (1 and 3), 5 and 10 cancel (1 and 2) → 1/1 × 2/3? Wait, recalc: 3/5 × 10/9 = (3×10)/(5×9) = 30/45 = 2/3; cancelling: divide 3 and 9 by 3 gives 1 and 3; divide 5 and 10 by 5 gives 1 and 2 → (1×2)/(1×3) = 2/3.
分数加法需要公分母。计算 2/3 + 1/4 时，用 12 做分母：(8/12 + 3/12) = 11/12。分数乘法时，分子分母各自相乘；如果可能就先约分再乘，例如 3/5 × 10/9 = 30/45 = 2/3，或者先约分：3 和 9 约成 1 和 3，5 和 10 约成 1 和 2，得到 (1×2)/(1×3) = 2/3。
3. Rounding and Estimation | 四舍五入与估算
Rounding to a given number of decimal places (d.p.) or significant figures (s.f.) is a fundamental skill. For 3.146 rounded to 2 d.p., look at the third decimal digit (6) → round up: 3.15. For significant figures, non‑zero digits are significant; leading zeros are not. 0.00475 to 2 s.f. is 0.0048.
将数字四舍五入到指定小数位数或有效数字位数是一项基本技能。将 3.146 保留两位小数时，看第三位小数 (6) → 进一：3.15。对于有效数字，非零数字都算有效，前导零不算。0.00475 保留两位有效数字为 0.0048。
Estimation is excellent for checking answers. Round each number to one significant figure and perform the calculation mentally. For 21.7 × 0.48, estimate as 20 × 0.5 = 10. The exact answer is about 10.416 — close enough to spot major errors. In division, like 478 ÷ 0.23, round to 500 ÷ 0.2 = 2500.
估算是检查答案的好方法。把每个数保留一位有效数字并心算。对于 21.7 × 0.48，估算为 20 × 0.5 = 10。精确答案约为 10.416——两者非常接近，足以发现重大错误。在除法中，如 478 ÷ 0.23，保留一位有效数字得 500 ÷ 0.2 = 2500。
4. Standard Form Calculations | 标准形式计算
Standard form writes numbers as A × 10ⁿ, where 1 ≤ A < 10 and n is an integer. Ensure you can enter standard form on your calculator using the EXP or ×10ˣ button; never type × 10 ^ separately because the calculator will evaluate it incorrectly in some operations.
标准形式将数字写成 A × 10ⁿ，其中 1 ≤ A < 10 且 n 为整数。确保能在计算器上使用 EXP 或 ×10ˣ 键输入标准形式；绝不要分别键入 × 10 ^，因为计算器在某些运算中会给出错误结果。
To multiply, add the indices: (3 × 10⁴) × (2 × 10³) = 6 × 10⁷. To divide, subtract the indices: (8 × 10⁵) ÷ (4 × 10²) = 2 × 10³. For addition or subtraction, first make the powers of 10 the same: 2.5 × 10³ + 4 × 10² = 2.5 × 10³ + 0.4 × 10³ = 2.9 × 10³.
乘法时，指数相加：(3 × 10⁴) × (2 × 10³) = 6 × 10⁷。除法时，指数相减：(8 × 10⁵) ÷ (4 × 10²) = 2 × 10³。做加减法时，先让 10 的指数相同：2.5 × 10³ + 4 × 10² = 2.5 × 10³ + 0.4 × 10³ = 2.9 × 10³。
Watch out for negative powers: 5 × 10⁻³ = 0.005. Multiplying: (3 × 10⁻²) × (4 × 10⁻³) = 12 × 10⁻⁵ = 1.2 × 10⁻⁴ after adjusting A.
注意负指数：5 × 10⁻³ = 0.005。乘法：(3 × 10⁻²) × (4 × 10⁻³) = 12 × 10⁻⁵ = 1.2 × 10⁻⁴（调整 A 后）。
5. Ratio and Proportion | 比与比例
A ratio can be simplified like a fraction by dividing all parts by a common factor. For 24:36:60, divide by 12 to get 2:3:5. Ratios are used to share a quantity: divide the total by the sum of the parts, then multiply. For a ratio of 3:5 sharing $64, the sum is 8; one part = $8; the shares are 3×8 = $24 and 5×8 = $40.
比可以像分数一样通过除以公因数来化简。对于 24:36:60，除以 12 得到 2:3:5。比常用于分配数量：将总数除以总份数，再乘以对应份数。例如按 3:5 分配 64 美元，总份数为 8；每份 = 8 美元；分配额为 3×8 = 24 美元和 5×8 = 40 美元。
Direct proportion problems often involve finding the constant of proportionality k. If y is directly proportional to x, y = kx. Use given values to find k, then answer the question. Inverse proportion: y = k/x.
正比例问题通常需要先求出比例常数 k。若 y 与 x 成正比，y = kx。用已知值求出 k，再回答问题。反比例：y = k/x。
In map scales, a ratio such as 1:100 000 means 1 cm represents 100 000 cm = 1 km. Convert units consistently when working with area or volume scales: for area, square the linear scale factor; for volume, cube it.
在比例尺中，像 1:100 000 这样的比表示 1 cm 代表 100 000 cm = 1 km。在涉及面积或体积的比例时，要统一单位：面积比例因子是线性比例因子的平方；体积比例因子是线性比例因子的立方。
6. Percentage Change and Reverse Percentages | 百分比变化与逆运算
Percentage increase: New = Original × (1 + percentage/100). For a 15% increase, multiply by 1.15. Percentage decrease: multiply by (1 − percentage/100). To find the original value after a percentage change (reverse percentage), divide by the multiplier, not subtract the percentage.
百分比增加：新值 = 原值 × (1 + 百分比/100)。对于 15% 的增加，乘以 1.15。百分比减少：乘以 (1 − 百分比/100)。若要在百分比变化后求原值（逆百分比），要除以乘数，而不是减去百分比。
Example: A coat costs $92 after a 20% increase. The multiplier was 1.2, so original = 92 ÷ 1.2 = $76.67. A common mistake is to calculate 20% of $92, but that gives an incorrect original. Always identify the multiplier first.
例题：一件大衣上涨 20% 后售价 92 美元。乘数是 1.2，因此原价 = 92 ÷ 1.2 = 76.67 美元。一个常见错误是计算 92 美元的 20%，这样得到的原价是错误的。一定要先确定乘数。
Compound percentage changes: for successive changes, multiply the multipliers. A 10% rise followed by a 10% fall on an item originally $200 gives 200 × 1.10 = 220, then 220 × 0.90 = 198 — not back to $200.
复合百分比变化：对于连续变化，将乘数相乘。一件原价 200 美元的商品先涨 10% 再降 10%，计算过程为 200 × 1.10 = 220，然后 220 × 0.90 = 198——并没有回到 200 美元。
7. Unit Conversions | 单位换算
Memorise the key conversion facts. Length: 1 km = 1000 m, 1 m = 100 cm, 1 cm = 10 mm. Mass: 1 tonne = 1000 kg, 1 kg = 1000 g. Capacity: 1 litre = 1000 ml, and 1 cm³ = 1 ml. Time: 1 hour = 60 minutes, 1 minute = 60 seconds.
牢记关键换算关系。长度：1 km = 1000 m，1 m = 100 cm，1 cm = 10 mm。质量：1 吨 = 1000 kg，1 kg = 1000 g。容量：1 升 = 1000 毫升，且 1 cm³ = 1 ml。时间：1 小时 = 60 分钟，1 分钟 = 60 秒。
For area, square the linear conversion factor. 1 m² = (100 cm) × (100 cm) = 10 000 cm². For volume, cube the factor: 1 m³ = 1 000 000 cm³. Speed conversions use time factors: to convert m/s to km/h, multiply by 3.6: 10 m/s = 36 km/h.
面积换算要取长度换算因子的平方。1 m² = (100 cm) × (100 cm) = 10 000 cm²。体积换算要取长度换算因子的立方：1 m³ = 1 000 000 cm³。速度换算使用时间因子：要将 m/s 换算为 km/h，乘以 3.6：10 m/s = 36 km/h。
When problems involve mixed units, convert all quantities to the same unit before calculating. For density, mass and volume, always ensure units match: density in g/cm³ means mass in g and volume in cm³.
当题目涉及混合单位时，要先将所有量转换为同一单位再计算。对于密度、质量和体积问题，要确保单位匹配：密度用 g/cm³ 表示时，质量用 g，体积用 cm³。
| Common Conversions | Metric | Imperial–Metric (approx) |
| Length | 1 mile ≈ 1.6 km | 1 inch ≈ 2.54 cm |
| Mass | 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lb | 1 tonne ≈ 0.98 tons |
| Volume | 1 gallon ≈ 4.5 litres | 1 pint ≈ 0.57 litres |
8. Algebraic Substitution | 代数代入
Substitution means replacing letters with given numbers and evaluating the expression. Always use brackets when substituting negative numbers or fractions to avoid sign errors. For example, evaluate 2x² − 3x + 1 when x = −2: 2(−2)² − 3(−2) + 1 = 2(4) + 6 + 1 = 8 + 6 + 1 = 15.
代入法指用给定数字替换字母并求表达式的值。遇到负数或分数时一定要加括号，以避免符号错误。例如，当 x = −2 时，求 2x² − 3x + 1 的值：2(−2)² − 3(−2) + 1 = 2(4) + 6 + 1 = 8 + 6 + 1 = 15。
If the expression involves a fraction, be systematic: a/(b + c) where a=3, b=4, c=5 becomes 3/(4+5) = 3/9 = 1/3. In formulae like v² = u² + 2as, substitute carefully: u = 2, a = 9.8, s = 5 → v² = 2² + 2 × 9.8 × 5 = 4 + 98 = 102, so v = √102.
如果表达式含分数，要条理清晰：a/(b + c)，其中 a=3, b=4, c=5，变为 3/(4+5) = 3/9 = 1/3。在公式如 v² = u² + 2as 中，仔细代入：u = 2, a = 9.8, s = 5 → v² = 2² + 2 × 9.8 × 5 = 4 + 98 = 102，因此 v = √102。
Common errors include missing the sign when squaring negative numbers without brackets or forgetting that 2p means 2 × p. Always write out the multiplication explicitly during the first few steps.
常见错误包括：负数平方时不加括号导致符号缺失，或忘记 2p 表示 2 × p。在最初的几步中，务必把乘法明确写出来。
9. Solving Linear Equations | 解线性方程
Solve linear equations by performing the same operation on both sides to isolate the unknown. Start with simple: 3x + 5 = 20 → subtract 5: 3x = 15 → divide by 3: x = 5. Always check by substitution.
解线性方程时，要在方程两边进行相同的运算以分离未知数。从简单方程开始：3x + 5 = 20 → 两边减 5：3x = 15 → 除以 3：x = 5。务必代回检验。
If there are brackets, expand first: 2(x + 3) = 14 → 2x + 6 = 14 → 2x = 8 → x = 4. When unknowns appear on both sides, collect them on one side: 5x − 4 = 2x + 8 → subtract 2x: 3x − 4 = 8 → add 4: 3x = 12 → x = 4.
如果有括号，先去括号：2(x + 3) = 14 → 2x + 6 = 14 → 2x = 8 → x = 4。当未知数在方程两边时，将其移到同一边：5x − 4 = 2x + 8 → 两边减 2x：3x − 4 = 8 → 加 4：3x = 12 → x = 4。
For equations with fractions, multiply every term by the common denominator to clear fractions: x/2 + 3 = x/4 + 5 → multiply by 4: 2x + 12 = x + 20 → 2x − x = 20 − 12 → x = 8. Always keep work tidy, step by step.
对于含有分数的方程，把每一项乘以公分母以清除分母：x/2 + 3 = x/4 + 5 → 两边乘 4：2x + 12 = x + 20 → 2x − x = 20 − 12 → x = 8。始终让解题过程整洁、有条理。
10. Angle Calculations | 角度计算
Angle calculation draws on angle facts you must know: angles on a straight line add to 180°, angles around a point add to 360°, vertically opposite angles are equal. In a triangle, angles sum to 180°; in a quadrilateral, 360°.
角度计算需要掌握基本角度事实：直线上的角之和为 180°，一点周围的角之和为 360°，对顶角相等。三角形内角和为 180°；四边形内角和为 360°。
Parallel line angles: corresponding angles are equal, alternate angles are equal, interior (co‑interior) angles sum to 180°. In
