1. Number Properties: Factors, Multiples and Primes | 数的性质：因数、倍数与质数
Understanding prime factorisation is essential for working with HCF (Highest Common Factor) and LCM (Lowest Common Multiple). Any composite number can be broken down into a product of prime numbers using a factor tree. For example, 72 = 2³ × 3². Once you have the prime factorisation, the HCF of two numbers is found by multiplying the lowest powers of all common prime factors, while the LCM is found by multiplying the highest powers of all prime factors present in either number.
理解质因数分解是求最大公因数（HCF）和最小公倍数（LCM）的基础。任何一个合数都可以用因数树分解为质数的乘积，例如 72 = 2³ × 3²。得到质因数分解后，两个数的 HCF 由所有公共质因数的最低次幂相乘得出，而 LCM 则由任一数中出现的所有质因数的最高次幂相乘得出。
Square roots and cube roots also rely on prime factorisation. To estimate √200, you can note that 14² = 196 and 15² = 225, so √200 ≈ 14.1. Similarly, recognising perfect cubes like 5³ = 125 and 6³ = 216 helps in approximating cube roots. These estimation skills are vital when calculators are not permitted.
平方根与立方根也依赖质因数分解。例如估算 √200 时，可注意到 14² = 196、15² = 225，因此 √200 ≈ 14.1。类似地，识别完全立方数如 5³ = 125、6³ = 216 有助于近似立方根。在不允许使用计算器的情况下，这些估算技巧至关重要。
2. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages | 分数、小数与百分数
Converting fluently between fractions, decimals and percentages is a core skill. To change a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator; to turn a decimal into a percentage, multiply by 100 and add the % symbol. For instance, 3/8 = 0.375 = 37.5%. Recurring decimals such as 0.3̅ (0.333…) can be written as fractions by setting up an equation: let x = 0.3̅, then 10x = 3.3̅, subtract to get 9x = 3, so x = 1/3.
在分数、小数和百分数之间流利转换是一项核心技能。将分数化为小数，用分子除以分母；将小数化为百分数，乘以 100 并加上 % 符号。例如 3/8 = 0.375 = 37.5%。循环小数如 0.3̅（0.333…）可以通过建立方程转化为分数：设 x = 0.3̅，则 10x = 3.3̅，相减得 9x = 3，所以 x = 1/3。
Percentage increase and decrease problems appear regularly. To increase £240 by 15%, multiply by 1.15 to get £276. To find the original price after a 20% discount gave a sale price of £56, you divide by 0.8: original price = 56 ÷ 0.8 = £70. Compound interest can be modelled as repeated percentage increases: an investment of £500 at 4% per annum for 2 years becomes 500 × (1.04)² = £540.80.
百分数增减问题是常见题型。将 £240 增加 15%，可乘以 1.15 得到 £276。若要还原 20% 折扣后售价 £56 的原价，需除以 0.8：原价 = 56 ÷ 0.8 = £70。复利可看作连续的百分数增加：£500 按年利率 4% 投资 2 年后变为 500 × (1.04)² = £540.80。
3. Algebraic Manipulation: Expanding, Factorising and Index Laws | 代数运算：展开、因式分解与指数律
Expanding brackets uses the distributive law. To expand 3(x + 2y − 5), multiply each term inside by 3 to obtain 3x + 6y − 15. When two brackets are multiplied, like (x + 4)(x − 3), every term in the first bracket must be multiplied by every term in the second: x² − 3x + 4x − 12 = x² + x − 12. A common mistake is forgetting to multiply the constants correctly or mishandling negative signs.
展开括号运用分配律。展开 3(x + 2y − 5) 时，将括号内每一项乘以 3，得到 3x + 6y − 15。当两个括号相乘，如 (x + 4)(x − 3)，需将第一个括号中的每一项与第二个括号中的每一项相乘：x² − 3x + 4x − 12 = x² + x − 12。常见的错误是忘记正确乘以常数项，或负号处理不当。
Factorising is the reverse of expanding. Look for the highest common factor first: 6x² + 9x = 3x(2x + 3). Quadratic expressions like x² + 5x + 6 factorise into (x + 2)(x + 3) because 2 and 3 multiply to 6 and add to 5. The index laws are equally important: aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ, aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ, and (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ. Apply these to simplify expressions like (2x³)² = 4x⁶.
因式分解是展开的逆运算。首先寻找最大公因数：6x² + 9x = 3x(2x + 3)。像 x² + 5x + 6 这样的二次式可分解为 (x + 2)(x + 3)，因为 2 和 3 相乘得 6、相加得 5。指数律同样重要：aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ，aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ，(aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ。运用这些法则可化简 (2x³)² = 4x⁶ 等式子。
4. Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities | 解一元一次方程与不等式
To solve an equation like 5x − 7 = 3x + 9, collect like terms together. Subtract 3x from both sides to get 2x − 7 = 9, then add 7 to both sides: 2x = 16, so x = 8. Always verify your solution by substituting it back into the original equation. When the equation contains fractions, multiply every term by the lowest common denominator to clear them.
解方程 5x − 7 = 3x + 9 时，先把同类项移到一边。两边同时减去 3x 得 2x − 7 = 9，然后两边加 7：2x = 16，因此 x = 8。每次求得解后，应代入原方程检验。当方程含有分数时，两边同乘以最小公分母以消去分母。
Inequalities are solved in a similar way, but with a crucial difference: multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. For −2x < 10, dividing by −2 gives x > −5. The solution set can be represented on a number line with open or closed circles, or using set notation such as {x : x > −5}.
不等式的解法类似，但有一个关键区别：乘以或除以负数时，不等号方向要改变。解 −2x < 10，两边除以 −2 得 x > −5。解集可用数轴表示，空心或实心圆点，也可用集合符号如 {x : x > −5} 表示。
5. Sequences and the nth Term | 数列与第 n 项
Arithmetic sequences increase or decrease by a constant difference. To find the nth term of a sequence like 7, 12, 17, 22, …, identify the common difference, d = 5, and the zeroth term (the term before the first) as 2. The nth term formula is dn + (0th) = 5n + 2. Check by substituting n = 1: 5×1 + 2 = 7, correct.
等差数列每次增加或减少一个固定的差值。求数列 7, 12, 17, 22, … 的第 n 项时，先找出公差 d = 5，再求出第零项（第一项之前的项）为 2。第 n 项公式为 dn + (第零项) = 5n + 2。代入 n = 1 检验：5×1 + 2 = 7，正确。
Some sequences are not arithmetic but follow simple patterns: square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16, …) have nth term n², cube numbers n³, and triangular numbers n(n+1)/2. Recognising these special sequences helps in problem-solving. You may also be asked to find whether a certain number, like 94, appears in an arithmetic sequence; set 5n + 2 = 94 and solve for n: n = 18.4, which is not an integer, so 94 is not in the sequence.
有些数列并非等差数列，而遵循简单的规律：平方数（1, 4, 9, 16, …）的第 n 项为 n²，立方数为 n³，三角形数为 n(n+1)/2。识别这些特殊数列有助于解题。你也可能被问到某个数字，比如 94，是否在等差数列中出现；设 5n + 2 = 94，解得 n = 18.4，不是整数，因此 94 不在该数列中。
6. Ratio and Proportion | 比与比例
Ratios compare the sizes of two or more parts. If the ratio of boys to girls in a school is 5 : 7 and there are 420 girls, the number of boys is (5/7) × 420 = 300. The total number of students is 720. A mixture ratio such as 3 : 2 for sand and cement means for every 5 parts, 3 are sand and 2 are cement. To make 20 kg of the mixture, you need (3/5)×20 = 12 kg of sand.
比用来比较两个或多个部分的大小。若某校男女生人数之比为 5 : 7，且女生有 420 人，则男生人数为 (5/7) × 420 = 300，总人数为 720。混合比例例如沙与水泥按 3 : 2 混合，意味着每 5 份中 3 份是沙，2 份是水泥。要制作 20 公斤混合物，需沙 (3/5)×20 = 12 公斤。
Direct proportion means that two quantities increase or decrease at the same rate. If 8 pens cost £5.20, then 20 pens cost (20/8)×5.20 = £13.00. This method, called the unitary method, finds the value of one unit first. Map scales are a practical application: a scale of 1 : 50 000 means 1 cm on the map represents 50 000 cm (or 0.5 km) on the ground.
正比例意味着两个量以相同速率增减。如果 8 支笔花费 £5.20，那么 20 支笔花费 (20/8)×5.20 = £13.00。这种方法称为归一法，先求出单位量。地图比例尺是实际应用：1 : 50 000 的比例尺表示地图上 1 厘米代表实际距离 50 000 厘米（即 0.5 公里）。
7. Geometry: Angles and Properties of Shapes | 几何：角与图形的性质
Angles on a straight line sum to 180°, and angles around a point sum to 360°. Vertically opposite angles are equal. When a transversal intersects parallel lines, alternate angles (Z‑angles) are equal, corresponding angles (F‑angles) are equal, and interior angles (C‑angles) sum to 180°. These facts are essential for finding missing angles in diagrams.
平角之和为 180°，周角之和为 360°。对顶角相等。当一条截线与两条平行线相交时，内错角（Z 型角）相等，同位角（F 型角）相等，同旁内角（C 型角）互补，和为 180°。这些性质是求解图形中未知角度的基础。
In polygons, the sum of interior angles of an n‑sided polygon is (n−2)×180°. The sum of exterior angles of any convex polygon is always 360°. For a regular polygon, each interior angle is (n−2)×180°/n, and each exterior angle is 360°/n. For example, a regular octagon has interior angles of 135° and exterior angles of 45°.
在多边形中，n 边形的内角和为 (n−2)×180°。任何凸多边形的外角和恒为 360°。对于正多边形，每个内角为 (n−2)×180°/n，每个外角为 360°/n。例如，正八边形的内角为 135°，外角为 45°。
8. Perimeter, Area and Volume | 周长、面积与体积
The area of a circle is πr² and its circumference is 2πr or πd, where r is the radius and d the diameter. For a semicircle, remember to add the diameter to the curved length for the perimeter, and halve the circle area for the area. Compound shapes are broken into rectangles, triangles and parts of circles; find the total area by summing or subtracting known areas.
圆的面积为 πr²，周长为 2πr 或 πd，其中 r 为半径，d 为直径。对于半圆，计算周长时需将直径与弧形长度相加，面积则为圆面积的一半。组合图形可分割为矩形、三角形和圆的一部分；通过相加或相减已知面积得到总面积。
The volume of a prism is found by multiplying the area of its cross‑section by its length. A cylinder is a prism with a circular cross‑section, so its volume is πr²h. Surface area is the sum of the areas of all faces. For a cuboid measuring l × w × h, the surface area is 2(lw + lh + wh). Always pay attention to units and convert them if necessary.
棱柱的体积等于底面积乘以高。圆柱是以圆为底面的棱柱，因此其体积为 πr²h。表面积是所有面的面积之和。对于长宽高分别为 l、w、h 的长方体，表面积为 2(lw + lh + wh)。务必注意单位，在需要时进行换算。
9. Linear Graphs: y = mx + c | 线性图像：y = mx + c
A straight line graph can be written in the form y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y‑intercept (where the line crosses the y‑axis). To draw the line y = 2x + 1, mark the intercept (0,1), then use the gradient to move 1 unit right and 2 units up to find another point.
直线图像可写成 y = mx + c 的形式，其中 m 为斜率，c 为 y 轴截距（即直线与 y 轴的交点）。画直线 y = 2x + 1 时，先标记截距 (0,1)，然后根据斜率向右移动 1 个单位、向上移动 2 个单位，得到另一点。
The gradient between any two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁). A horizontal line has gradient 0 (y = c), and a vertical line has an undefined gradient (x = k). Parallel lines have the same gradient, a concept often tested alongside coordinate geometry problems.
任意两点 (x₁,y₁) 与 (x₂,y₂) 之间的斜率为 (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁)。水平线的斜率为 0（y = c），垂直线的斜率未定义（x = k）。平行线具有相同的斜率，这一概念常与坐标几何问题一同考查。
10. Transformations: Reflection, Rotation, Translation and Enlargement | 图形变换：反射、旋转、平移与放大
A reflection flips a shape across a mirror line. To reflect a point, the line acts as a perpendicular bisector between the point and its image. Common mirror lines include the x‑axis, y‑axis, y = x and y = −x. Rotation turns a shape about a centre of rotation through a given angle; the direction (clockwise or anticlockwise) and angle must be stated.
反射将图形沿对称轴翻转。对一个点作反射时，对称轴是点及其像点之间的垂直平分线。常见的对称轴包括 x 轴、y 轴、y = x 与 y = −x。旋转是将图形绕一个旋转中心转动指定角度；需指出方向（顺时针或逆时针）及角度。
Translation slides a shape by a column vector (x y) (written vertically). The shape does not change orientation or size. Enlargement changes the size of a shape by a scale factor from a centre of enlargement. A positive scale factor greater than 1 makes it larger; a factor between 0 and 1 makes it smaller. All side lengths are multiplied by the scale factor, and the image is similar to the original.
平移通过列向量 (x y)（竖排书写）滑动图形，图形方向与大小不变。放大变换从一个放大中心出发，按放大因子改变图形大小。大于 1 的正放大因子使图形变大；0 到 1 之间的因子使图形变小。所有边长都乘以放大因子，所得的像与原图形相似。
11. Statistics: Averages and Range | 统计：平均数和极差
The mean of a data set is the sum of all values divided by the number of values. The median is the middle value when data are sorted; if there are two middle numbers, the median is their mean. The mode is the most frequent value, and the range is the difference between the largest and smallest values, showing how spread out the data are.
一组数据的平均数等于所有数值之和除以数据个数。将数据排序后，中位数即最中间的数值；若有中间两个数，则取它们的平均数。众数是出现频率最高的值，极差则是最大值与最小值之差，反映数据的离散程度。
When data are grouped, you can only estimate the mean using mid‑interval values. A frequency table helps organise data. For example, if the intervals 0–10, 10–20, 20–30 have frequencies 5, 8, 7, the estimated mean is (5×5 + 15×8 + 25×7)/(5+8+7) = 16. The modal class is the interval with the highest frequency, and the range is estimated using the upper and lower bounds of the data.
分组数据只能通过组中值来估算平均数。频数表有助于整理数据。例如，区间 0–10、10–20、20–30 的频数分别为 5、8、7，则估算平均数为 (5×5 + 15×8 + 25×7)/(5+8+7) = 16。众数所在区间为频数最高的组，极差则根据数据上下限估算。
12. Probability: Experiments and Tree Diagrams | 概率：试验与树状图
Probability measures the chance of an event occurring and is always between 0 and 1. The probability of an event not occurring is 1 minus the probability of it occurring. For a fair six‑sided die, P(rolling a 4) = 1/6, and P(not rolling a 4) = 5/6. When all outcomes are equally likely, probability = number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes.
概率度量事件发生的可能性，值总是在 0 到 1 之间。事件不发生的概率等于 1 减去该事件发生的概率。对于一枚均匀的六面骰子，P(掷出 4) = 1/6，P(未掷出 4) = 5/6。当所有结果等可能时，概率 = 有利结果数 / 所有可能结果数。
Tree diagrams are used for combined events. At each branch, write the outcome and its probability. To find the probability of two specific events happening, multiply along the branches. For example, flipping a coin twice: P(Head then Tail) = 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4. If you need the probability of at least one head, it is easier to do 1 − P(no heads) = 1 − (1/4) = 3/4.
树状图用于分析复合事件。每个分支上标明结果及其概率。求两个特定事件相继发生的概率时，将沿途分支的概率相乘。例如，掷硬币两次：P(先正面后反面) = 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4。若需要至少一次正面的概率，可简便地计算 1 − P(无正面) = 1 − (1/4) = 3/4。
