1. Algebra Basics and Linear Equations | 代数基础与线性方程
Algebra uses letters to stand for unknown numbers, allowing us to write general rules and solve problems. A linear equation has the variable raised to the power 1, such as 2x + 3 = 11. To solve it, we perform the same operation on both sides – subtract 3 from both sides to get 2x = 8, then divide by 2 to find x = 4.
代数用字母表示未知数，使我们能写出一般规律并解决问题。线性方程中变量的指数为 1，例如 2x + 3 = 11。解方程时，我们对两边进行相同的运算——两边减 3 得到 2x = 8，再除以 2 得出 x = 4。
When working with expressions, remember to collect like terms: 3a + 2b – a + 4b simplifies to 2a + 6b. Always keep the balance – whatever you do to one side of an equation, you must do to the other.
化简表达式时要合并同类项：3a + 2b – a + 4b 化简为 2a + 6b。始终保持等式平衡——对方程的一边做什么，另一边也要做同样的操作。
2. Expanding and Factorising | 展开与因式分解
Expanding removes brackets by multiplying each term inside by the term outside. For example, 5(2x – 3) expands to 10x – 15. The reverse process, factorising, finds a common factor: 12y + 8 factorises to 4(3y + 2).
展开括号是用括号外的项乘以括号内的每一项，例如 5(2x – 3) 展开为 10x – 15。反过来，因式分解是找出公因子：12y + 8 因式分解为 4(3y + 2)。
A special expansion you will meet is the difference of two squares: a² – b² = (a + b)(a – b). This helps you factorise expressions like x² – 25 into (x + 5)(x – 5).
你会遇到一种特殊的展开——平方差公式：a² – b² = (a + b)(a – b)。利用它可以把 x² – 25 分解为 (x + 5)(x – 5)。
3. Quadratic Expressions and Equations | 二次表达式与方程
A quadratic expression contains a term with x², such as x² + 5x + 6. To factorise it, look for two numbers that multiply to the constant term and add to the coefficient of x. For x² + 5x + 6, the numbers 2 and 3 give (x + 2)(x + 3).
二次表达式含有 x² 项，如 x² + 5x + 6。因式分解时，寻找两个数，它们的乘积等于常数项，和等于 x 的系数。对于 x² + 5x + 6，2 和 3 满足条件，得到 (x + 2)(x + 3)。
Setting a quadratic equal to zero gives a quadratic equation: x² + 5x + 6 = 0. Using the factorised form, we can deduce x + 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0, so x = –2 or x = –3.
把二次表达式等于零就得到二次方程：x² + 5x + 6 = 0。利用因式分解形式，可推出 x + 2 = 0 或 x + 3 = 0，所以 x = –2 或 x = –3。
4. Inequalities | 不等式
Inequalities compare quantities using symbols: < (less than), > (greater than), ≤ (less than or equal to) and ≥ (greater than or equal to). Solving a linear inequality, like 2x – 3 > 7, works like solving an equation, but remember that multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.
不等式使用符号比较大小：＜（小于）、＞（大于）、≤（小于等于）和 ≥（大于等于）。解一元一次不等式，如 2x – 3 ＞ 7，与解方程类似，但要记住：乘以或除以负数时不等号方向要改变。
We often show solutions on a number line, using an open circle for < or > and a closed circle for ≤ or ≥. For –1 ≤ x < 4, the region includes –1 but not 4.
我们通常在数轴上表示解集，＜ 或 ＞ 用空心圆，≤ 或 ≥ 用实心圆。如 –1 ≤ x ＜ 4 表示包含 –1 但不包含 4 的区域。
5. Pythagoras’ Theorem | 勾股定理
In a right‑angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides: c² = a² + b². The hypotenuse is always the longest side, opposite the right angle.
在直角三角形中，斜边的平方等于两条直角边的平方和：c² = a² + b²。斜边总是最长的那条边，对着直角。
To find a missing shorter side, rearrange the formula: a = √(c² – b²). For example, if c = 13 cm and b = 5 cm, then a = √(169 – 25) = √144 = 12 cm.
求未知的直角边时，重新整理公式：a = √(c² – b²)。例如，若 c = 13 cm，b = 5 cm，则 a = √(169 – 25) = √144 = 12 cm。
6. Trigonometric Ratios | 三角比
The three basic trigonometric ratios in a right‑angled triangle are sine, cosine and tangent. They link an acute angle to two side lengths:
直角三角形中的三个基本三角比是正弦、余弦和正切。它们将某个锐角与两条边长联系起来：
- sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse | 正弦 = 对边 / 斜边
- cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse | 余弦 = 邻边 / 斜边
- tan θ = opposite / adjacent | 正切 = 对边 / 邻边
The mnemonic SOHCAHTOA helps recall these ratios. When finding an unknown side, choose the ratio that uses the known side and the side you need. When finding an angle, use the inverse function on your calculator.
记忆口诀 SOHCAHTOA 能帮你记住这些比。求未知边时，选用包含已知边和所求边的比。求角度时，使用计算器上的反函数。
7. Sequences and the nth Term | 数列与第 n 项
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers following a rule. An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference between terms, e.g. 5, 8, 11, 14, … where the difference is +3.
数列是按某种规则排列的一串数字。等差数列的相邻项之差保持恒定，例如 5, 8, 11, 14, …，差为 +3。
The nth term formula for an arithmetic sequence is aₙ = a₁ + (n – 1)d, where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference. For the sequence above, aₙ = 5 + (n – 1)×3 = 3n + 2. You can then find any term, e.g. the 20th term is 3×20 + 2 = 62.
等差数列的第 n 项公式为 aₙ = a₁ + (n – 1)d，其中 a₁ 为首项，d 为公差。对于上方数列，aₙ = 5 + (n – 1)×3 = 3n + 2。由此可求出任意项，如第 20 项为 3×20 + 2 = 62。
8. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages Advanced | 分数、小数与百分比进阶
Mastering conversions between fractions, decimals and percentages is vital. For instance, 3/8 = 0.375 = 37.5%. When calculating percentage increase or decrease, use multiplier methods: a 15% increase multiplies by 1.15; a 20% decrease multiplies by 0.80.
熟练进行分数、小数和百分比的互换至关重要。例如，3/8 = 0.375 = 37.5%。计算百分比增减时，使用乘数法：增长 15% 乘以 1.15；减少 20% 乘以 0.80。
Compound percentages, such as successive discounts or interest, require repeated multiplication. A value of £200 increased by 5% for two years becomes 200 × 1.05² = £220.50.
涉及多次增减的复合百分比，如连续折扣或利息，需要重复乘法。本金 £200 每年增长 5%，两年后变为 200 × 1.05² = £220.50。
9. Indices and Surds | 指数与根式
Indices (powers) follow key laws that simplify calculations:
指数（幂）遵循几条重要定律，能简化运算：
- aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ (multiplying same base) | 同底数幂相乘，指数相加
- aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ (dividing same base) | 同底数幂相除，指数相减
- (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ (power of a power) | 幂的乘方，指数相乘
- a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ (negative index) | 负指数等于倒数
A surd is an expression containing a root that cannot be simplified to a rational number, like √2 or ³√5. Surds can often be simplified using the rule √(a × b) = √a × √b. For example, √12 = √(4 × 3) = 2√3.
根式是含有无法化为有理数的根的表达式，比如 √2 或 ³√5。根式通常可利用 √(a × b) = √a × √b 化简。例如，√12 = √(4 × 3) = 2√3。
10. Probability of Combined Events | 组合事件概率
Probability measures how likely an event is, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). For combined events, we can list outcomes in a sample space or use a tree diagram to map all possibilities.
概率衡量事件发生的可能性，范围从 0（不可能）到 1（一定发生）。对于组合事件，我们可以用样本空间列举结果，或用树形图展示所有可能。
The ‘AND’ rule for independent events states: P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B). The ‘OR’ rule for mutually exclusive events is: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B). Always check whether events can happen simultaneously or not.
独立事件的“与”规则：P(A 且 B) = P(A) × P(B)。互斥事件的“或”规则：P(A 或 B) = P(A) + P(B)。务必先判断事件能否同时发生。
11. Statistics: Scatter Graphs and Correlation | 统计：散点图与相关性
A scatter graph displays paired numerical data, helping us see relationships between two variables. If points tend to slope upwards, there is positive correlation; if downwards, negative correlation. No clear pattern suggests zero correlation.
散点图用于展示成对的数值数据，帮助观察两个变量间的关系。若点群大致向上倾斜，则为正相关；向下倾斜为负相关；没有明显规律则表明零相关。
A line of best fit can be drawn by eye to pass through the middle of the points, ideally having equal numbers of points above and below it. This line can be used to estimate unknown values within the range of data (interpolation).
我们可以凭目测画一条最佳拟合线，使其穿过点群中央，并尽量使线上下的点数相等。这条线可用来估算数据范围内的未知值（内插）。
12. Angles in Polygons and Circle Geometry | 多边形内角与圆几何
The sum of interior angles of a polygon with n sides is (n – 2) × 180°. For a regular polygon, each interior angle equals this total divided by n. The sum of exterior angles of any convex polygon is always 360°.
n 边形内角和为 (n – 2) × 180°。对于正多边形，每个内角等于内角和除以 n。任何凸多边形的外角和恒等于 360°。
In circle geometry, you will meet the fact that the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference when subtended by the same arc. The angle in a semicircle is always a right angle (90°).
在圆几何中，你会遇到：同弧所对的圆心角等于圆周角的两倍；半圆内的圆周角始终为直角（90°）。
