Negative numbers are explored in real-world contexts such as temperature differences and overdrafts. Pupils learn to locate negative integers on a number line and compare them.
负数在实际情境中探索，如温差和透支。学生学会在数轴上定位负整数并比较大小。
Powers and roots are introduced. A square number results from multiplying a number by itself, and a square root reverses this operation.
乘方与根的概念被引入。平方数是一个数自乘的结果，平方根是该运算的逆运算。
3² = 3 × 3 = 9, √9 = 3
Students also learn to calculate cubes and cube roots, linking to volume and spatial reasoning.

Decimal and fraction equivalence is emphasised. Common fractions such as 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 1/5 are linked to their decimal and percentage forms.
强调小数与分数的等价关系。常见分数如1/2、1/4、1/3、1/5与其小数和百分比形式对应。
Percentages are understood as ‘out of 100’, and pupils calculate percentages of quantities and percentage increase or decrease without a calculator.
百分比被理解为“每百份”，学生不用计算器计算一个量的百分比以及百分增减。
Ordering a mixture of fractions, decimals, and percentages is common in problem solving. Converting everything to decimals often makes comparison straightforward.
在解题中常需要将分数、小数和百分比混合排序。将所有数转换为小数通常简化比较。
4. Ratio and Proportion | 比与比例
Ratio compares two or more quantities; it is simplified by dividing both sides by common factors, similar to simplifying fractions.
比用于比较两个或多个量；通过除以公因子化简比，类似于化简分数。
Proportion problems involve finding one quantity given another, often using a unitary method. For instance, if 5 pens cost £3.50, 1 pen costs £0.70, so 8 pens cost £5.60.
比例问题常需已知一个量求另一个量，常用单位法。例如，5支笔3.50英镑，则1支0.70英镑，8支5.60英镑。
Students learn to divide a quantity into a given ratio, such as splitting £40 in the ratio 3:5, giving £15 and £25.

5. Algebraic Expressions | 代数表达式
Algebra is introduced with letters representing unknown or variable numbers. Terms like ‘coefficient’, ‘variable’, and ‘constant’ are used.
代数引入字母表示未知数或变量。使用“系数”、“变量”和“常数”等术语。
Collecting like terms simplifies expressions. For example, 3a + 2b + 5a − b = 8a + b.
合并同类项化简表达式。例如，3a + 2b + 5a − b = 8a + b.
Substitution means replacing a letter with a given number to find the value of an expression. If x = 4 and y = −2, then 2x − 3y = 8 + 6 = 14.
代入意味着用给定数字替换字母求出表达式的值。若x=4且y=−2，则2x − 3y = 8 + 6 = 14。
Expanding brackets uses the distributive law: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 5(2x − 3) = 10x − 15.
去括号运用分配律：a(b + c) = ab + ac。例如，5(2x − 3) = 10x − 15。
Factorising is the reverse process – expressing a sum as a product. 4x + 12 = 4(x + 3).
因式分解是逆过程——将和表示为积。4x + 12 = 4(x + 3)。
6. Solving Equations and Inequalities | 解方程与不等式
Linear equations of the form ax + b = c are solved by balancing both sides. The goal is to isolate the variable using inverse operations.
形如ax + b = c的一元一次方程通过等式平衡求解。目标是利用逆运算分离变量。
More complex equations like 2x + 5 = 3x − 2 require gathering x terms on one side. Subtract 2x from both sides: 5 = x − 2, then add 2: x = 7.
更复杂的方程如2x + 5 = 3x − 2需要将含x项集中一侧。两边减去2x：5 = x − 2，再加2：x=7。
Inequalities represent relationships where one side is greater or less than the other. Symbols: < (less than), > (greater than), ≤ (less than or equal to), ≥ (greater than or equal to).
不等式表示一边大于或小于另一边的关系。符号：<（小于），>（大于），≤（小于等于），≥（大于等于）。
Solving inequalities follows similar balancing rules, but multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. For example, −2x < 6 → x > −3.
解不等式遵循类似的平衡法则，但乘或除以负数会改变不等号方向。例如，−2x < 6 → x > −3。
Solutions are often shown on a number line with open or closed circles.
解通常用数轴上的空心或实心圆点表示。
7. Sequences and Functions | 数列与函数
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers governed by a rule. The nth term allows prediction of any term in a linear sequence.

对于数列5, 9, 13, 17，逐项规则是“加4”，第n项为4n+1。
Students learn to find the nth term from patterns of matchsticks or dots, linking algebraic expressions to visual patterns.
学生从火柴棍或点阵图案中寻找第n项，将代数表达式与视觉图案联系。
Function machines model input → operation(s) → output. They prepare students for formal function notation. A two-step machine might double and then add 5: output = 2x + 5.
函数机器模拟输入→运算→输出。它们为学生后续使用函数符号做准备。一个两步机器可能先加倍再加5：输出=2x+5。
