欢迎阅读 KS3 进阶数学复习指南。本文汇总了关键阶段 3 最常考的知识点,帮助你为 GCSE 打下坚实基础。理解这些概念将提升你的推理能力,增强自信,让你轻松应对文字题。
1. Solving Linear Equations | 解线性方程
Equations show that two expressions are equal. To solve, carry out inverse operations on both sides to isolate the unknown. For example, x + 7 = 15 → x = 15 − 7 = 8.
方程表示两个表达式相等。求解时,在等式两边进行逆运算,将未知数独立出来。例如,x + 7 = 15 → x = 15 − 7 = 8。
For two-step equations such as 2x − 3 = 9, first add 3 to both sides: 2x = 12, then divide by 2: x = 6. Always check your answer by substituting it back into the original equation.
对于像 2x − 3 = 9 这样的两步方程,先两边加 3:2x = 12,再除以 2:x = 6。一定要将解代回原方程进行检验。
If brackets appear, expand them first or divide both sides by the coefficient. Example: 3(x + 4) = 21 → expand: 3x + 12 = 21 → 3x = 9 → x = 3. When unknowns appear on both sides, collect like terms: 5x − 2 = 2x + 7 → 3x = 9 → x = 3.
若出现括号,先展开或两边除以系数。例如:3(x + 4) = 21 → 展开得 3x + 12 = 21 → 3x = 9 → x = 3。当未知数在两边时,移项合并同类项:5x − 2 = 2x + 7 → 3x = 9 → x = 3。
2. Inequalities | 不等式
Inequalities use symbols >, <, ≥ and ≤ to show the relative size of two expressions. Solving them follows the same steps as equations, but with one crucial exception: when multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign must be reversed.
不等式用 >、<、≥ 和 ≤ 表示两个表达式的大小关系。解不等式的步骤与方程相同,但有一个关键例外:乘以或除以负数时,必须反转不等号方向。
Example: 2x + 3 > 7 → 2x > 4 → x > 2. On a number line, an open circle is used for > or <, while a closed circle represents ≥ or ≤.
例如:2x + 3 > 7 → 2x > 4 → x > 2。在数轴上,空心圆圈表示 > 或 <,实心圆圈表示 ≥ 或 ≤。
If we have −2x ≤ 6, dividing by −2 gives x ≥ −3. Remember to flip the sign. A solution set can be written in words or using interval notation, but at KS3 the focus is on representing it clearly on a number line.
若解 −2x ≤ 6,两边除以 −2 得 x ≥ −3。记住要反转符号。解集可用文字描述或用区间表示,但在 KS3 阶段重点是能在数轴上清晰地表示出来。
3. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages | 分数、小数和百分比
Converting between fractions, decimals and percentages is a key skill. To change a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator: 3/8 = 0.375. To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100: 0.375 × 100% = 37.5%.
在分数、小数和百分比之间进行转换是一项基本技能。分数转小数,用分子除以分母:3/8 = 0.375。小数转百分比,乘以 100:0.375 × 100% = 37.5%。
When adding or subtracting fractions, find a common denominator. For mixed numbers, convert to improper fractions first. Multiplication is straightforward: multiply numerators and denominators separately. For division, flip the second fraction and multiply.
分数的加减运算需先找到公分母。带分数应先化为假分数再运算。乘法直接:分子乘分子、分母乘分母。除法则是将第二个分数取倒数再相乘。
Percentage increase and decrease problems appear often: to increase £45 by 20%, find 20% of £45 = £9, then add: £54. A multiplier method using 1.20 is quicker and helps with reverse percentages.
百分比增减问题很常见:把 45 英镑增加 20%,先算 45 的 20% 得 9,再相加得 54。用乘数 1.20 的方法更快捷,也便于逆推原值。
4. Ratios and Proportions | 比例与正反比例
Ratios compare quantities of the same kind. Simplify ratios by dividing by common factors, just like fractions. A ratio of 12:16 simplifies to 3:4. To share an amount in a given ratio, add the parts: for ratio 3:5, the total parts are 8, so each part equals the total amount divided by 8.
比用于比较同类量。化简比与分数约分类似,除以公因数即可。如 12:16 化简为 3:4。按比例分配时,先把各项相加:比 3:5 的总份数为 8,每份等于总数量除以 8。
Proportion describes a relationship where two quantities change at a constant rate. Direct proportion means y = kx for some constant k. If 4 pens cost £3, then 10 pens cost £7.50 using a unitary method or the multiplier 3/4 per pen.
比例描述两个量以恒定速率变化的关系。正比例关系可表示为 y = kx(k 为常数)。若 4 支笔 3 英镑,则 10 支笔 7.50 英镑,使用归一法或每支笔的倍率 3/4 均可求出。
5. Pythagoras’ Theorem | 勾股定理
In any right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side (hypotenuse) equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
在任何直角三角形中,最长边(斜边)的平方等于另两边的平方和。
a2 + b2 = c2
Here c is the hypotenuse, while a and b are the legs. To find the hypotenuse, compute c = √(a2 + b2). To find a shorter side, rearrange: a = √(c2 − b2).
此式中 c 是斜边,a 和 b 为直角边。求斜边长用 c = √(a2 + b2)。求直角边长则改写公式:a = √(c2 − b2)。
Word problems often involve ladders leaning against walls or diagonals in rectangles. Always draw a diagram, identify the right angle, and label sides before substituting values.
文字题常涉及梯子靠墙或矩形对角线等情境。务必先画出示意图,确定直角,标明各边再代入数值。
6. Area and Perimeter of 2D Shapes | 二维图形的面积与周长
Perimeter is the distance around a shape; area is the space inside. For a rectangle, perimeter P = 2(l + w) and area A = l × w. For a triangle, A = ½ × base × height.
周长是形状周围的长度,面积是其内部空间。矩形的周长 P = 2(l + w),面积 A = l × w。三角形的面积 A = ½ × 底 × 高。
A parallelogram’s area is base × perpendicular height, not the slant edge. The area of a trapezium is found with A = ½(a + b)h, where a and b are the parallel sides and h is the vertical height.
平行四边形的面积 = 底 × 垂直高度(而非斜边)。梯形面积公式为 A = ½(a + b)h,其中 a 和 b 是平行边,h 是垂直高度。
For circles, circumference C = 2πr or πd, and area A = πr2. When calculating, use the π button on a calculator or 3.14 as an approximation unless told otherwise. Composite shapes can be split into familiar figures, then areas added or subtracted.
对于圆,周长 C = 2πr 或 πd,面积 A = πr2。计算时使用计算器的 π 键或取近似值 3.14,除非另有说明。组合图形可拆分为熟知的形状,面积相加或相减即可。
7. Volume and Surface Area of 3D Solids | 三维立体的体积与表面积
Volume measures the space a solid occupies. A cuboid’s volume V = l × w × h. Surface area is the total area of all faces. For a cube with side s, V = s3 and surface area = 6s2.
体积衡量立体所占空间。长方体的体积 V = 长 × 宽 × 高。表面积是所有面的总面积。边长为 s 的立方体,V = s3,表面积 = 6s2。
Prisms share a constant cross-section. Their volume = area of cross-section × length. A triangular prism’s volume is (½ × base × height of triangle) × length. For cylinders, V = πr2h. Surface area of a cylinder includes two circles and a curved rectangle: A = 2πr2 + 2πrh.
棱柱具有相同的横截面,其体积 = 横截面积 × 长度。三棱柱的体积为 (½ × 三角形的底 × 高) × 长度。圆柱体的体积 V = πr2h。圆柱的表面积包括两个圆和一个弯曲的矩形:A = 2πr2 + 2πrh。
8. Probability | 概率
Probability measures how likely an event is, on a scale from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). For equally likely outcomes, theoretical probability = number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes.
概率度量事件发生的可能性,范围从 0(不可能)到 1(必然)。对于等可能结果,理论概率 = 有利结果数 / 总结果数。
When two events are mutually exclusive, the probability of either happening is the sum of their individual probabilities: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B). The sum of probabilities of all possible outcomes is always 1.
互斥事件中,任一事件发生的概率等于各自概率之和:P(A 或 B) = P(A) + P(B)。所有可能结果的概率总和始终为 1。
Experimental probability is based on collected data. If a spinner lands on red 23 times out of 100 spins, the estimated probability is 0.23. Tree diagrams help map out combined events and multiply probabilities along branches.
实验概率基于采集的数据。若旋转指针 100 次,有 23 次停在红色区域,估计概率为 0.23。树状图有助于列出复合事件,并沿分支相乘概率。
9. Statistics and Charts | 统计与图表
Data can be summarised by measures of central tendency: mean = sum of values ÷ number of values, median = middle value when ordered, mode = most frequent value. The range gives a measure of spread: largest value − smallest value.
数据可用集中趋势量数加以概括:平均值 = 数值总和 ÷ 数值个数,中位数 = 排序后中间值,众数 = 出现频率最高值。极差可衡量离散程度:最大值 − 最小值。
Common charts include bar charts for discrete data, line graphs for trends over time, pie charts for proportions of a whole, and scatter graphs to show correlation between two variables. When drawing pie charts, multiply each proportion by 360° to get the sector angle.
常用图表包括:柱状图(用于离散数据)、折线图(用于时间趋势)、饼图(用于整体比例)和散点图(用于显示两变量间的相关性)。绘制饼图时,将每个比例乘以 360° 即得扇形角度。
Stem-and-leaf diagrams keep raw data visible and allow easy identification of the median and mode. Interpreting graphs requires critical reading of titles, axes labels and scales.
茎叶图保留原始数据,便于找出中位数和众数。解读图表时需仔细阅读标题、坐标轴标签和刻度。
10. Sequences | 序列
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers following a rule. The term-to-term rule tells you how to move from one term to the next, e.g., add 3 each time. The position-to-term rule (nth term) allows calculation of any term directly.
序列是按规则排列的有序数列。逐项规则告诉你如何从一项得到下一项,例如每次加 3。位置推项规则(第 n 项公式)可以直接计算任意一项。
For a linear (arithmetic) sequence, the nth term is of the form an + b, where a is the common difference. Given the sequence 5, 8, 11, 14, …, the difference is 3, so a = 3; subtract 3 from the first term to get b = 2, giving the nth term 3n + 2.
线性(等差)序列的第 n 项可写成 an + b 的形式,a 为公差。如序列 5, 8, 11, 14, …,公差为 3,故 a = 3;从首项中减去 3 得 b = 2,因此第 n 项为 3n + 2。
Use the nth term to find the 50th term without listing all earlier terms. Some sequences are not linear; recognising patterns like square numbers or powers will also be tested.
利用第 n 项公式可以直接求第 50 项,而无需逐一列出。有些序列并非线性,识别平方数或乘方等模式也是考查点。
11. Angle Geometry | 角度几何
Basic angle facts are essential: angles on a straight line sum to 180°, angles around a point sum to 360°, vertically opposite angles are equal, and the angles in a triangle add up to 180°.
基础角度知识必不可少:直线上的角之和为 180°,一点周围的角度和为 360°,对顶角相等,三角形内角和为 180°。
In quadrilaterals the interior angles sum to 360°. With parallel lines, look for alternate angles (Z-shape), corresponding angles (F-shape) and co-interior or allied angles (C-shape), which sum to 180°.
四边形的内角和为 360°。对于平行线,会用到内错角(Z 形)、同位角(F 形)以及同旁内角(C 形),同旁内角之和为 180°。
When solving problems, mark all given angles on the diagram and work step by step, justifying each finding with a reason. Angle chasers build confidence and speed for tackling longer proofs later.
解题时在图上标出所有已知角度,逐步推理并给出每一步的理由。角度追踪练习有助于建立信心,为之后更长的证明提速。
12. Coordinates and Straight-Line Graphs | 坐标与直线图
The coordinate plane is formed by the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). A point is written as (x, y). The midpoint of a segment joining (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).
坐标平面由 x 轴(横轴)和 y 轴(纵轴)构成。一个点表示为 (x, y)。连接两点 (x1, y1) 与 (x2, y2) 的线段中点为 ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)。
A linear equation can be written as y = mx + c, where m is the gradient (steepness) and c is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). Gradient m = rise/run = change in y / change in x.
线性方程可写成 y = mx + c 的形式,其中 m 是斜率(坡度),c 是 y 轴截距(直线与 y 轴的交点)。斜率 m = 垂直增量 / 水平增量 = y 的变化量 / x 的变化量。
To plot a straight line, build a table of values for x and y, plot at least three points, and connect them. Checking that the points lie in a straight line helps spot calculation errors.
绘制直线图像时,先列出 x 和 y 的数值表,至少标出三点再连线。检验所有点是否在一直线上,有助于发现计算错误。
