1. Algebraic Expressions and Simplification | 代数表达式与化简
You must be confident expanding brackets, collecting like terms, and using index laws. For example, 3x(2x − 5) expands to 6x² − 15x, and (x + 4)(x − 3) gives x² + x − 12. Remember that xᵃ × xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ and (xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ.
你必须熟练展开括号、合并同类项并运用指数法则。例如 3x(2x − 5) 展开得 6x² − 15x，(x + 4)(x − 3) 结果为 x² + x − 12。记住 xᵃ × xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ 以及 (xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ。
Simplifying expressions often involves factorising common factors first. Take 4x²y + 8xy²: the highest common factor is 4xy, so factorised form is 4xy(x + 2y). Using algebra tiles or area models can help to visualise these operations.
化简表达式常需先提取公因式。以 4x²y + 8xy² 为例，最大公因式为 4xy，因式分解后为 4xy(x + 2y)。使用代数积木或面积模型有助于可视化这些操作。
2. Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities | 解一元线性方程与不等式
Solve equations like 2(x + 3) − 4 = 3x + 2 by first expanding: 2x + 6 − 4 = 3x + 2, then simplify to 2x + 2 = 3x + 2, giving x = 0. Always check your solution by substituting back into the original equation.
解方程如 2(x + 3) − 4 = 3x + 2，先展开：2x + 6 − 4 = 3x + 2，接着化简为 2x + 2 = 3x + 2，得 x = 0。解方程后务必代入原式检验。
Inequalities behave similarly but reverse the sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. For −2x ≤ 6, dividing by −2 gives x ≥ −3. Represent solutions on a number line with open or closed circles.
解不等式类似，但乘除负数时不等号方向需反转。如 −2x ≤ 6，除以 −2 得 x ≥ −3。用数轴表示解集时，注意空心与实心圆点的区别。
3. Simultaneous Equations | 联立方程组
You will meet pairs of linear equations like y = 2x + 1 and 3x + y = 16. Substituting the first into the second gives 3x + (2x + 1) = 16, so 5x + 1 = 16, x = 3, y = 7. The elimination method is equally important: align coefficients and add or subtract equations.
你会遇到如 y = 2x + 1 和 3x + y = 16 这样的二元一次方程组。将第一式代入第二式得 3x + (2x + 1) = 16，故 5x + 1 = 16，x = 3，y = 7。消元法同样重要：对齐系数后将方程相加或相减。
Graphically, simultaneous equations represent intersecting lines. The solution is the point of intersection. Always check your solution in both equations to confirm accuracy.
从图像上看，联立方程表示两条直线，其交点即为解。务必在两个方程中检验所得解以确保正确。
4. Quadratic Expressions and Factorising | 二次表达式与因式分解
Factorising quadratics like x² + 7x + 12 relies on finding two numbers that multiply to 12 and add to 7: 3 and 4, so (x + 3)(x + 4). For x² − x − 6, the numbers are −3 and +2, giving (x − 3)(x + 2). Watch out for the difference of two squares: a² − b² = (a + b)(a − b).
对 x² + 7x + 12 进行因式分解，需找到乘积为 12、和为 7 的两个数：3 与 4，因此 (x + 3)(x + 4)。对于 x² − x − 6，数字为 −3 与 +2，得 (x − 3)(x + 2)。注意平方差公式：a² − b² = (a + b)(a − b)。
Solving quadratic equations by factorising: set x² + 5x + 6 = 0 to (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0, so x = −2 or x = −3. Always set the quadratic equal to zero before factorising to use the zero-product property.
通过因式分解解二次方程：令 x² + 5x + 6 = 0 变为 (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0，因此 x = −2 或 x = −3。务必先将方程设为零再因式分解，以利用零乘积性质。
5. Sequences and the nth Term | 数列与第 n 项
An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference. For the sequence 5, 9, 13, 17, …, the nth term is 4n + 1. To find any term, substitute the position number n. Quadratic sequences have a second difference that is constant; the nth term involves n².
等差数列具有恒定公差。对于数列 5, 9, 13, 17, …，第 n 项为 4n + 1。代入位置编号 n 即可求出任一项。二次数列的二阶差恒定；其第 n 项包含 n²。
For patterns that grow geometrically, such as 2, 6, 18, 54, …, the term-to-term rule is multiply by 3. Recognising whether a sequence is arithmetic, quadratic, or geometric is essential for finding the nth term formula.
对于等比增长的图形数列，如 2, 6, 18, 54, …，项间递推规则为乘以 3。识别数列是等差、二次还是等比，是推导第 n 项公式的关键。
6. Graphs of Linear and Quadratic Functions | 线性函数与二次函数图像
A linear graph has equation y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. Parallel lines have the same gradient; perpendicular lines have gradients that multiply to −1. Plotting points or using the intercept method helps sketch straight lines accurately.
一次函数图像为直线，方程为 y = mx + c，其中 m 为斜率，c 为 y 轴截距。平行线斜率相同；垂直线斜率乘积为 −1。描点法或截距法有助于精确绘制直线。
Quadratic graphs y = ax² + bx + c produce a parabola. The sign of a determines if it opens upward (a > 0) or downward (a < 0). The turning point and roots (x-intercepts) can be found by completing the square or factorising.
二次函数图像 y = ax² + bx + c 为抛物线。a 的符号决定开口向上 (a > 0) 或向下 (a < 0)。可通过配方法或因式分解找到顶点及根（x 轴交点）。
7. Pythagoras’ Theorem | 勾股定理
In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides: c² = a² + b². Use this to find missing side lengths. For example, if legs are 5 and 12, the hypotenuse is √(5² + 12²) = √169 = 13.
在直角三角形中，斜边长度的平方等于两直角边长度的平方和：c² = a² + b²。用此定理求缺失边长。例如，直角边为 5 和 12，斜边长为 √(5² + 12²) = √169 = 13。
You must also be able to apply Pythagoras in three dimensions, such as finding the space diagonal of a cuboid. Identify the relevant right-angled triangles within the 3D shape to set up the equation step by step.
你还需能在三维中应用勾股定理，例如求长方体的空间对角线。在立体图形中识别出相关的直角三角形，逐步建立方程。
8. Trigonometry in Right-Angled Triangles | 直角三角形中的三角比
The three trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine, and tangent. Use SOH CAH TOA: sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse, cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan θ = opposite/adjacent. These ratios help you find missing angles and sides when given an acute angle and a side.
三个三角比为正弦、余弦和正切。运用 SOH CAH TOA：sin θ = 对边/斜边，cos θ = 邻边/斜边，tan θ = 对边/邻边。已知一个锐角及一条边时，这些比可帮你求解未知角和边长。
When solving, label the sides relative to the given angle, choose the appropriate ratio, set up the equation, and solve. For angle calculations, use inverse trig functions (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹).
解题时，根据已知角标注各边，选择合适的三角比，列出方程并求解。计算角度时需使用反三角函数 (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹)。
9. Angles and Polygons | 角与多边形
Sum of interior angles of an n-sided polygon is (n − 2) × 180°. A regular polygon has equal sides and equal interior angles. Exterior angles of any convex polygon sum to 360°, making it easy to find one exterior angle in regular cases.
n 边形内角和为 (n − 2) × 180°。正多边形各边及各内角均相等。任意凸多边形外角和为 360°，据此可轻松求出正多边形的一个外角。
Parallel lines create corresponding, alternate, and co-interior angles. Apply these rules to solve problems with multi-step reasoning, often alongside properties of triangles and quadrilaterals.
平行线产生同位角、内错角及同旁内角。运用这些性质并结合三角形与四边形的特性，可进行多步推理求解角度问题。
10. Perimeter, Area and Volume | 周长、面积与体积
Master formulas for circles: circumference C = 2πr or πd, area A = πr². For compound shapes, divide into simpler parts. Work with prisms and cylinders: volume = area of cross-section × length. Surface area calculations sum areas of all faces.
掌握圆的公式：周长 C = 2πr 或 πd，面积 A = πr²。对于组合图形，将其拆分为简单部分。处理棱柱与圆柱：体积 = 横截面积 × 长度。表面积计算为各面面积之和。
Be careful with units: converting between cm, m, and mm, and between cm² and m² requires multiplying or dividing by powers of 10 and 100. For volume, 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³.
注意单位换算：厘米、米、毫米之间的转换，以及 cm² 与 m² 的换算需要乘以或除以 10 和 100 的幂次。对于体积，1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³。
11. Probability and Venn Diagrams | 概率与文氏图
Probability of an event = number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes, provided all outcomes are equally likely. Combined events can be tackled with sample space diagrams or two-way tables. The sum of probabilities of all outcomes is 1.
事件概率 = 有利结果数 / 所有可能结果总数，前提是所有结果等可能。组合事件可用样本空间图或双向表处理。所有结果的概率之和为 1。
Venn diagrams represent sets and their relationships. Use them for ‘and’ (intersection) and ‘or’ (union) probability questions. The addition rule: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B). For mutually exclusive events, P(A ∩ B) = 0.
文氏图表示集合及其关系，用于解决“交集”与“并集”概率问题。加法法则：P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B)。互斥事件中 P(A ∩ B) = 0。
12. Ratio, Proportion and Rates of Change | 比、比例及变化率
Simplify ratios by dividing all parts by common factors. Divide a quantity in a given ratio by finding the total number of parts first. For direct proportion, y ∝ x means y = kx, and for inverse proportion, y ∝ 1/x means y = k/x.
化简比时将所有部分除以公因数。按给定比分配数量需先求出总份数。正比例 y ∝ x 即 y = kx，反比例 y ∝ 1/x 即 y = k/x。
Gradient as a rate of change is fundamental: speed as distance/time, or unit cost. Interpret distance–time graphs: horizontal lines mean stationary, steeper slopes mean faster speed. Velocity–time graphs link area to distance.
梯度作为变化率至关重要：例如速度 = 距离/时间，或单位成本。解读距离–时间图：水平线段表示静止，斜率越大速度越快。速度–时间图中的面积对应距离。
