剑桥 IGCSE 数学 (0580) 考试一贯青睐掌握核心主题的学生。本文总结最高频的考点、精准定义与关键方法，帮助你高效复习并避开常见失误。
1. Number Operations and BIDMAS | 数字运算与运算顺序
Always apply BIDMAS (Brackets, Indices, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction) to evaluate expressions correctly. For example, 3 + 4 × 5 = 3 + 20 = 23, not 35. Indices like squares and cubes are performed before division or multiplication unless inside brackets.
务必遵循 BIDMAS 顺序（括号、指数、除法/乘法、加法/减法）正确求值。例如 3 + 4 × 5 = 3 + 20 = 23，而非 35。平方和立方等指数运算优先于乘除，除非在括号内。
Remember that a negative base raised to an even power becomes positive: (−3)² = 9, but −3² = −9 because the exponent only applies to the number directly before it.
记住，负数的偶数次幂为正数：(−3)² = 9，但 −3² = −9，因为指数仅作用于紧邻它的数字。
When dividing by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. The key rule can be displayed as:
除以一个分数时，乘以其倒数。关键规则可表示为：
a/b ÷ c/d = a/b × d/c
2. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages | 分数、小数与百分比
Converting between fractions, decimals and percentages is fundamental. Multiply a decimal by 100 to obtain a percentage; divide a percentage by 100 to get a decimal. When comparing quantities, always use the same form.
分数、小数与百分比的互化是基础。小数乘以 100 得到百分数；百分数除以 100 得到小数。比较数量时，始终先统一形式。
To increase a quantity by r%, multiply by (1 + r/100). For a decrease, use (1 − r/100). This is particularly useful for compound interest and depreciation.
若要增加 r%，乘以 (1 + r/100)；减少时用 (1 − r/100)。这对复利计算与折旧问题尤为有用。
New Value = Original × (1 ± r/100)
Reverse percentages require careful thinking: if a price after a 20% reduction is £80, the original was £80 ÷ 0.8 = £100. Always divide by the multiplier, not simply add the percentage back.
反向百分比需谨慎：若降价 20% 后价格为 80 英镑，原价为 80 ÷ 0.8 = 100 英镑。务必除以乘数，而非简单加回百分比。
3. Ratio and Proportion | 比率与比例
When a quantity is split in the ratio a : b, the total number of parts is a + b. Each part equals the total amount divided by (a + b). Then multiply by each ratio term to find individual shares.
当总量按 a : b 分割时，总份数为 a + b。每份等于总量除以 (a + b)。再用各项比率乘以每份大小得到各自份额。
Direct proportion problems involve a constant multiplier k where y = kx. Inverse proportion means y = k/x. Always find k using known paired values, then apply to the unknown.
正比例问题涉及常数乘数 k，满足 y = kx。反比例意味着 y = k/x。始终利用已知配对值求出 k，再用于未知量。
Map scales are a type of ratio: a scale of 1 : n means 1 cm on the map represents n cm in reality. Convert units consistently — often to km or m — to avoid errors.
地图比例尺是一种比率：1 : n 表示图上 1 cm 代表实际 n cm。务必统一单位（常转为 km 或 m）以避免错误。
4. Algebraic Manipulation | 代数运算
Expanding brackets uses the distributive law: a(b + c) = ab + ac. Be careful with signs, especially when a negative sign precedes the bracket.
展开括号使用分配律：a(b + c) = ab + ac。注意符号，特别是括号前有负号时。
Factorising is the reverse process: look for the highest common factor (HCF) first. The difference of two squares appears frequently:
因式分解是其逆过程：先找最大公因数。平方差公式频繁出现：
a² − b² = (a + b)(a − b)
For quadratic expressions like x² + bx + c, find two numbers that multiply to c and add to b. For ax² + bx + c with a ≠ 1, use the grouping method or trial factors.
对于 x² + bx + c 型二次式，找出相乘得 c、相加得 b 的两个数。对于 a ≠ 1 的 ax² + bx + c，使用分组法或尝试因式。
5. Linear Equations and Inequalities | 一次方程与不等式
Solve linear equations by isolating the variable: perform the same operation on both sides. Clear fractions by multiplying by the denominator early.
解一次方程要分离变量：两边执行相同运算。尽早乘以分母以清除分数。
Inequalities follow similar rules with one crucial exception: multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign, e.g., −2x < 6 becomes x > −3.
不等式遵循类似规则，但有一个关键例外：乘以或除以负数时，不等号方向改变，如 −2x < 6 变为 x > −3。
Represent inequalities on a number line with open circles for strict inequalities (<, >) and closed circles for ≤, ≥. Write solution sets in the form a < x ≤ b.
在数轴上表示不等式时，严格不等号（<, >）用空心圆，含等号（≤, ≥）用实心圆。解集形式为 a < x ≤ b。
6. Quadratic Equations | 二次方程
Quadratic equations can often be solved by factorising. If (x − p)(x − q) = 0, then x = p or x = q. Always set the equation to zero first.
二次方程常通过因式分解求解。若 (x − p)(x − q) = 0，则 x = p 或 x = q。务必先使方程等于零。
When factorisation is not obvious, use the quadratic formula. The standard form ax² + bx + c = 0 gives:
当因式分解不明显时，使用求根公式。标准式 ax² + bx + c = 0 给出：
x = [ −b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / (2a)
The discriminant Δ = b² − 4ac determines the nature of roots: Δ > 0 gives two real distinct roots, Δ = 0 gives one repeated root, and Δ < 0 gives no real roots. This is often tested without needing to solve fully.
判别式 Δ = b² − 4ac 决定根的性质：Δ > 0 有两个不等实根，Δ = 0 有一个重根，Δ < 0 无实数根。此内容常考且无需完整解出方程。
7. Sequences | 数列
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference d. The nth term is given by a + (n − 1)d, where a is the first term. If the sequence is linear, d can be found by subtracting any term from the next.
等差数列有公差 d。第 n 项为 a + (n − 1)d，其中 a 为首项。若为线性数列，通过相邻项相减可得 d。
Quadratic sequences have a second difference that is constant. The nth term takes the form an² + bn + c. Find a = half the second difference, then solve for b and c using the first few terms.
二次数列的第二阶差为常数。第 n 项形式为 an² + bn + c。a = 第二阶差的一半，再利用前几项解出 b 和 c。
Familiar special sequences include square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16…), cube numbers (1, 8, 27, 64…), and triangular numbers (1, 3, 6, 10…). Know their nth term formulas.
熟悉特殊数列：平方数 (1, 4, 9, 16…)、立方数 (1, 8, 27, 64…) 和三角形数 (1, 3, 6, 10…)。掌握其通项公式。
8. Straight Line Graphs | 直线图
The equation of a straight line is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. To find m, use m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁).
直线方程为 y = mx + c，m 为斜率，c 为 y 轴截距。斜率 m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)。
Two lines are parallel if their gradients are equal (m₁ = m₂). They are perpendicular if m₁ × m₂ = −1. This property is often used to find equations of perpendicular bisectors or normals.
两直线平行若斜率相等 (m₁ = m₂)；垂直若 m₁ × m₂ = −1。此性质常用于求垂直平分线或法线方程。
To sketch a line, plot the y-intercept, then use the gradient to move right and up/down. Alternatively, find the x-intercept by setting y = 0.
绘制直线时，先标出 y 截距，再根据斜率向右并上下移动。也可设 y = 0 求出 x 截距。
9. Angle Properties and Polygons | 角的性质与多边形
Angles on a straight line sum to 180°. Angles around a point sum to 360°. Vertically opposite angles are equal.
平角为 180°；周角为 360°；对顶角相等。
For parallel lines, alternate angles are equal, corresponding angles are equal, and interior (co-interior) angles sum to 180°. Identifying the correct angle pairs is essential in geometry proofs.
平行线中，内错角相等，同位角相等，同旁内角互补（和为 180°）。正确识别这些角对是几何证明的关键。
The sum of interior angles of an n-sided polygon is (n − 2) × 180°. The sum of exterior angles (one per vertex) is always 360°, regardless of n.
n 边形内角和为 (n − 2) × 180°。外角和（每个顶点一个外角）恒为 360°，与边数无关。
10. Pythagoras and Trigonometry | 勾股定理与三角学
In a right-angled triangle, Pythagoras’ theorem states: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse. Always check that the triangle is right-angled before applying it.
直角三角形中，勾股定理：a² + b² = c²，c 为斜边。使用前务必确认三角形为直角三角形。
Trigonometric ratios for right-angled triangles are defined by SOHCAHTOA:
直角三角形的三角比由 SOHCAHTOA 定义：
sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent
For non-right-angled triangles, the extended syllabus covers the sine rule and cosine rule:
对于非直角三角形，扩展大纲涵盖正弦定理与余弦定理：
a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C
a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos A
Use the area formula ½ ab sin C when two sides and the included angle are known.
已知两边及其夹角时，使用面积公式 ½ ab sin C。
11. Mensuration | 测量
Perimeter and area formulas must be memorised. The area of a circle is πr² and its circumference is 2πr or πd. The area of a triangle can be ½ × base × height or using trigonometry as above.
周长与面积公式需熟记。圆面积 πr²，周长 2πr 或 πd。三角形面积可用 ½ × 底 × 高或上述三角法。
Trapezium area = ½ (a + b) h
Volume of a prism = cross-sectional area × length
Volume of a cylinder = πr²h
Volume of a cone = ⅓ πr²h
Volume of a sphere = 4/3 πr³
梯形面积 = ½ (a + b) h；棱柱体积 = 横截面积 × 长；圆柱体积 = πr²h；圆锥体积 = ⅓ πr²h；球体积 = 4/3 πr³。
Surface area of a sphere is 4πr². For combined shapes, break them into simple solids and sum or subtract as appropriate. Always use consistent units and convert before calculating.
球表面积 4πr²。组合体分解为基本立体，再适当求和或相减。始终统一单位，计算前完成转换。
12. Probability and Statistics | 概率与统计
Probability of an event = number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes. The probability of an event not happening is 1 − P(event).
事件概率 = 有利结果数 / 所有可能结果数。事件不发生的概率 = 1 − P(事件)。
For combined independent events, draw a tree diagram and multiply along branches. The sum of probabilities from a single node equals 1. Conditional probability questions often require reading from a two-way table or applying P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B|A).
对于独立组合事件，绘制树状图并沿分支相乘。同一节点伸出的概率之和为 1。条件概率问题常需读取双向表或运用 P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B|A)。
In statistics, know the three averages: mean (sum ÷ count), median (middle value when ordered), mode (most frequent). The range = highest − lowest. For grouped data, estimate the mean using midpoints and use cumulative frequency curves to find medians and interquartile ranges.
统计中，掌握三种平均数：平均数（总和 ÷ 个数）、中位数（排序后中间值）、众数（出现频率最高者）。极差 = 最大值 − 最小值。对分组数据，用组中值估算平均数，并用累积频数曲线求中位数与四分位距。
