1. Number and Place Value | 数与位值
Understanding number systems is fundamental. In Year 8, you extended your knowledge to include negative numbers, powers, roots, and standard form. Remember that any non-zero number raised to the power 0 equals 1, e.g. 5⁰ = 1. The laws of indices are essential: xᵃ × xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ and xᵃ ÷ xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ. Know your prime factorisation and how to express numbers as products of primes using index notation, such as 72 = 2³ × 3². Place value in decimals up to thousandths and rounding to significant figures are also key skills.
理解数系是基础。在 Year 8，你拓展了对负数、幂、方根和标准型的认识。记住，任何非零数的 0 次方等于 1，例如 5⁰ = 1。指数法则是核心：xᵃ × xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ，xᵃ ÷ xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ。要掌握质因数分解，并用指数记法将数字表示为质数的乘积，如 72 = 2³ × 3²。小数的位值（到千分位）以及四舍五入保留有效数字也是关键技能。
| Index Law (Law) | Example |
|---|---|
| aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ | 2³ × 2² = 2⁵ = 32 |
| aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ | 5⁴ ÷ 5² = 5² = 25 |
| (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ | (10²)³ = 10⁶ = 1,000,000 |
These rules allow you to simplify expressions and solve problems efficiently. Practise expressing large and small numbers in standard form: A × 10ⁿ, where 1 ≤ A < 10 and n is an integer.
这些法则让你能有效简化表达式并解决问题。练习用标准型表示大数和小数：A × 10ⁿ，其中 1 ≤ A < 10，n 为整数。
2. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages | 分数、小数与百分比
You learned to convert fluently between fractions, decimals and percentages. For example, 3/8 = 0.375 = 37.5%. Operations with fractions: addition and subtraction require common denominators; multiplication is straightforward (numerator × numerator, denominator × denominator); division is done by multiplying by the reciprocal. Percentages cover increase and decrease, finding a percentage of an amount, and expressing one quantity as a percentage of another. Reverse percentages: finding the original amount after a percentage change is a higher-level skill to master.
你学会了分数、小数和百分比之间的熟练转换。例如，3/8 = 0.375 = 37.5%。分数运算：加减法需要通分；乘法直接（分子乘分子，分母乘分母）；除法是乘以其倒数。百分比涵盖增减、求一个数量的百分之几，以及将一个量表示为另一个量的百分比。逆向百分比：在百分比变化后求原始量是一项需要掌握的高阶技能。
Another important concept is comparing quantities using percentages. For instance, if a shop offers 20% off a £45 jacket, the sale price is £36. To find the original price after a 10% increase gave £110, divide by 1.10 to get £100. Always identify whether you are working with the original or the new amount.
另一个重要概念是使用百分比比较数量。例如，如果一件 45 英镑的夹克打八折，售价为 36 英镑。若增加 10% 后为 110 英镑，要计算原价则除以 1.10 得到 100 英镑。始终明确你处理的是原始量还是新量。
3. Ratio and Proportion | 比例与比率
Ratio compares parts of a whole, while proportion compares a part to the whole. You should be able to simplify ratios, divide a quantity in a given ratio, and solve problems involving direct proportion. The unitary method is extremely useful: find the value of one unit first. For example, if 6 pens cost £2.70, then 1 pen costs £0.45, so 10 pens cost £4.50. You also explored scale factors in maps and drawings, and the connection between ratio and fractions.
比率比较部分与整体的关系，而比例是比较部分与整体。你应当能化简比、按给定比例分配数量，并解决涉及正比例的问题。单位法非常有用：先求一个单位的值。例如，若 6 支笔售价 2.70 英镑，则 1 支笔 0.45 英镑，因此 10 支笔 4.50 英镑。你还探索了地图和图纸中的比例尺因子，以及比率与分数的联系。
A typical question: ‘Divide £240 in the ratio 3:5.’ First add the parts: 3 + 5 = 8. One part is £240 ÷ 8 = £30. So the shares are 3 × 30 = £90 and 5 × 30 = £150. Always check the sum equals the original total. Ratio problems often involve real-life contexts like recipes or mixing concrete.
典型问题：“将 240 英镑按 3:5 分配”。首先将部分相加：3 + 5 = 8。一份为 240 ÷ 8 = 30 英镑。所以份额为 3 × 30 = 90 英镑和 5 × 30 = 150 英镑。务必检查总和等于原始总数。比率问题常涉及如食谱或混凝土配比等现实情境。
4. Algebra: Expressions, Equations and Formulae | 代数：表达式、方程与公式
Algebra becomes more abstract in Year 8. You worked on simplifying expressions by collecting like terms, multiplying out brackets such as 3(a + 4) = 3a + 12, and factorising expressions like 6x + 9 = 3(2x + 3). You also substituted values into formulae, generated sequences from nth term rules, and found the nth term of linear sequences. Understanding that an equation is a statement of equality (both sides balanced) is crucial before moving to solving more complex equations.
Year 8 代数变得更加抽象。你练习了通过合并同类项化简表达式，去括号如 3(a + 4) = 3a + 12，以及因式分解如 6x + 9 = 3(2x + 3)。你还学会了将值代入公式、根据第 n 项规则生成数列，以及求线性数列的第 n 项。理解方程是等式的陈述（两边平衡）至关重要，然后再去解更复杂的方程。
For a sequence 7, 12, 17, 22, … the nth term is 5n + 2. Check: when n = 1, 5×1+2 = 7. Using algebra to describe patterns prepares you for functions and graphs. Practice by inventing your own sequences and finding the rule.
对于数列 7, 12, 17, 22, …，第 n 项为 5n + 2。检验：当 n = 1，5×1+2 = 7。用代数描述规律为你学习函数和图像做好准备。尝试自创数列并寻找规律进行练习。
5. Solving Linear Equations | 解线性方程
You solved one-step, two-step and multi-step linear equations, including those with brackets and unknowns on both sides. The golden rule: whatever you do to one side, do to the other to keep the balance. For example, 2(x + 3) = 10 → x + 3 = 5 → x = 2. You also set up equations from word problems. Practice is key — try making up your own equations to solve.
你解过一步、两步和多步线性方程，包括带有括号和未知数在两侧的方程。黄金法则：等号两边同时进行相同操作以保持平衡。例如，2(x + 3) = 10 → x + 3 = 5 → x = 2。你还从文字题中建立方程。练习是关键——试着自己编方程来解。
Solve: 4x – 7 = 2x + 9 → 4x – 2x = 9 + 7 → 2x = 16 → x = 8
Working systematically and checking your solution by substitution are good habits. If a problem says ‘I think of a number, multiply it by 3 and add 4, the result is 19. What is the number?’, write the equation 3n + 4 = 19 and solve.
系统地演算并通过代入检验解是良好的习惯。如果题目说“我想一个数，乘 3 再加 4，结果是 19。这个数是多少？”，就列出方程 3n + 4 = 19 并求解。
6. Geometry: Angles and Shapes | 几何：角与图形
Year 8 geometry covers angles on a straight line (sum = 180°), angles at a point (360°), vertically opposite angles, angles in triangles (sum = 180°), and in quadrilaterals (sum = 360°). You also explored angles in parallel lines: corresponding angles, alternate angles, and co-interior angles (supplementary). Properties of polygons, including interior and exterior angle sums, and solving problems using these facts are central. Recognising congruent and similar shapes rounds off the topic.
Year 8 几何涵盖直线上的角（和为 180°）、点周围的角（360°）、对顶角、三角形内角和（180°）以及四边形内角和（360°）。你还探究了平行线中的角：同位角、内错角和同旁内角（互补）。多边形的性质，包括内角和外角和，以及利用这些事实解决问题是核心内容。识别全等和相似图形为该主题画上句号。
An exterior angle of a regular polygon = 360° ÷ n, where n is the number of sides. For a regular pentagon, each exterior angle is 72°, so each interior angle = 180° – 72° = 108°. Use angle facts to find missing angles in complex diagrams.
正多边形的一个外角 = 360° ÷ n，其中 n 是边数。对于正五边形，每个外角是 72°，因此每个内角 = 180° – 72° = 108°。利用角的事实找出复杂图形中的未知角。
7. Perimeter, Area and Volume | 周长、面积与体积
You extended area and perimeter to circles. Circumference of a circle = 2πr or πd; area = πr². You also found the area of compound shapes, trapeziums (½(a+b)h), and surface area of cubes and cuboids. Volume of prisms: area of cross-section × length. Working with metric and imperial units and converting between them (e.g. 1 inch ≈ 2.54 cm) is also expected.
你将面积和周长的计算扩展到圆。圆的周长 = 2πr 或 πd；面积 = πr²。你还求复合图形、梯形的面积（½(a+b)h），以及立方体和长方体的表面积。棱柱的体积：横截面积 × 长。使用公制和英制单位并在其间换算（如 1 英寸 ≈ 2.54 厘米）也是要求掌握的。
A cylinder is a prism with a circular cross-section. Its volume = πr²h. Surface area of a cylinder includes the curved surface (2πrh) and two circular ends (2πr²). Practising with π ≈ 3.14 or using the π button on your calculator builds fluency.
圆柱是一种横截面为圆形的棱柱。其体积 = πr²h。圆柱的表面积包括侧面（2πrh）和两个圆形底面（2πr²）。使用 π ≈ 3.14 或计算器上的 π 键进行练习以培养熟练度。
8. Statistics and Probability | 统计与概率
In statistics, you constructed and interpreted bar charts, pie charts, scatter graphs and line graphs. You learned about correlation (positive, negative, none) and drew lines of best fit. Averages: mean, median, mode and range. You used these to compare distributions. In probability, you described events using words and numbers, understood the probability scale from 0 to 1, and calculated probabilities using the formula: P(event) = number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes. You also dealt with mutually exclusive events and expected frequencies.
在统计中，你绘制并解读了条形图、饼图、散点图和折线图。你学习了相关性（正、负、无），并画出最佳拟合线。平均数：平均数、中位数、众数和极差。你利用这些来比较分布。在概率中，你用词语和数字描述事件，理解从 0 到 1 的概率尺度，并使用公式计算概率：P(事件) = 有利结果数 / 总结果数。你还处理了互斥事件和期望频数。
The mean of a set of data is sum of values ÷ number of values. The median is the middle value when ordered. The mode is the most frequent. Range = maximum – minimum. Use these to draw conclusions; for example, compare the consistency of two sports players using range and mean.
一组数据的平均数 = 数值总和 ÷ 数值个数。中位数是排序后位于中间的值。众数是出现频率最高的值。极差 = 最大值 – 最小值。利用以上结论进行推断；例如，使用极差和平均数比较两名运动员的稳定性。
