1. Number Properties and Operations | 数的性质与运算
Integers include positive and negative whole numbers. Operations with integers follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym BIDMAS: Brackets, Indices, Division/Multiplication (left to right), Addition/Subtraction (left to right). For example, in the expression 8 + 2 × (3² – 1), you first calculate the bracket (9 – 1 = 8), then 2 × 8 = 16, and finally 8 + 16 = 24.
整数包括正整数和负整数。整数的运算遵循运算顺序，通常用缩略词 BIDMAS 来记忆：括号、指数、乘除（从左到右）、加减（从左到右）。例如在表达式 8 + 2 × (3² – 1) 中，先计算括号 (9 – 1 = 8)，然后 2 × 8 = 16，最后 8 + 16 = 24。
Factors are numbers that divide exactly into another number. The highest common factor (HCF) is the largest factor shared by two or more numbers. Multiples are the results of multiplying a number by an integer; the lowest common multiple (LCM) is the smallest multiple common to the given numbers. Prime numbers have exactly two distinct factors: 1 and the number itself. A number can be expressed as a product of prime factors using a factor tree, which is useful for finding HCF and LCM.
因数是能整除另一个数的数。最大公因数 (HCF) 是两个或多个数共有的最大因数。倍数是整数与某数相乘的结果；最小公倍数 (LCM) 是给定数共有的最小倍数。质数恰好有两个不同的因数：1 和它本身。一个数可以用因数树分解为质因数的乘积，这在求 HCF 和 LCM 时非常有用。
2. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages | 分数、小数与百分数
Fractions represent parts of a whole. Equivalent fractions are obtained by multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number. To add or subtract fractions, first find a common denominator. Multiplying fractions involves multiplying numerators together and denominators together; dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal.
分数表示整体的一部分。将分子和分母同时乘以或除以同一个非零数，可以得到等值分数。进行分数加减时，首先要找到公分母。分数相乘即分子相乘、分母相乘；除以一个分数等于乘以它的倒数。
Decimals and fractions are interchangeable: a decimal such as 0.75 is equal to ¾. Percentages express a fraction out of 100, so ¾ = 75%. To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100. Understanding these conversions is essential for comparing quantities and solving real-world problems involving discounts, interest, and proportions.
小数和分数可以相互转化：例如 0.75 等于 ¾。百分数表示占 100 的几分之几，因此 ¾ = 75%。要把小数转化为百分数，只需乘以 100。理解这些转化对于比较数量、解决涉及折扣、利息和比例的实际问题至关重要。
3. Ratio and Proportion | 比与比例
A ratio compares the sizes of two or more quantities. Ratios can be simplified by dividing all parts by their highest common factor. For instance, the ratio 12:18 simplifies to 2:3. When a quantity is split according to a given ratio, each part is calculated using the total number of shares.
比用来比较两个或多个量的大小。比可以通过所有部分除以它们的最大公因数来化简。例如 12:18 化简为 2:3。当要按照给定比例分配一个量时，每个部分都要根据总份数来计算。
Proportion describes how one quantity changes in relation to another. Two quantities are in direct proportion if their ratio remains constant (y = kx). They are in inverse proportion if their product is constant (y = k/x). Recognising these relationships helps model real-life situations such as speed and travel time, or the number of workers and time to complete a job.
比例描述一个量如何随另一个量变化。如果两个量的比值保持不变 (y = kx)，则它们成正比例。如果它们的乘积保持不变 (y = k/x)，则它们成反比例。识别这些关系有助于建立现实生活情况的模型，如速度和行程时间，或工人数量与完成工作所需的时间。
4. Indices and Scientific Notation | 指数与科学记数法
Indices (also called powers or exponents) show repeated multiplication. For example, a⁴ means a × a × a × a. Key index laws include: aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ, aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ, and (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ. The zero index rule states that any non-zero number to the power of zero is 1: a⁰ = 1. Negative indices indicate reciprocals: a⁻² = 1/a².
指数（又称幂）表示连乘。例如 a⁴ 表示 a × a × a × a。主要的运算法则有：aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ，aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ，(aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ。零指数法则规定任何非零数的零次幂等于 1：a⁰ = 1。负指数则表示倒数：a⁻² = 1/a²。
Standard form (scientific notation) is a way of writing very large or very small numbers using powers of ten. A number is in standard form when written as A × 10ⁿ, where 1 ≤ A < 10 and n is an integer. For example, 345 000 = 3.45 × 10⁵ and 0.00067 = 6.7 × 10⁻⁴. Calculations with numbers in standard form rely on index laws.
标准形式（科学记数法）是利用 10 的幂来书写很大或很小的数的方法。当一个数写成 A × 10ⁿ，且 1 ≤ A < 10，n 为整数时，该数即为标准形式。例如 345 000 = 3.45 × 10⁵，0.00067 = 6.7 × 10⁻⁴。对标准形式的数进行计算需运用指数运算法则。
5. Algebraic Manipulation | 代数式运算
Algebra uses letters to represent unknown numbers. Expressions are combinations of variables and constants using operations; they do not contain an equals sign. Like terms (e.g., 3x and –5x) can be collected by adding their coefficients. When expanding brackets, each term inside the bracket is multiplied by the term outside: a(b + c) = ab + ac. Double brackets require multiplying each term in the first bracket by each term in the second, as in (x + 2)(x – 3) = x² – 3x + 2x – 6 = x² – x – 6.
代数用字母表示未知数。表达式是通过运算将变量和常数组合而成的式子，其中不含等号。同类项（如 3x 和 –5x）可以通过系数相加来合并。去括号时，括号外的项要乘括号内的每一项：a(b + c) = ab + ac。双重括号则需要将第一个括号中的每一项与第二个括号中的每一项相乘，例如 (x + 2)(x – 3) = x² – 3x + 2x – 6 = x² – x – 6。
Factorising is the reverse of expanding. It involves identifying a common factor and writing the expression as a product: 6x + 9 = 3(2x + 3). Quadratic expressions can sometimes be factorised into two binomials, turning x² + 5x + 6 into (x + 2)(x + 3). Substitution means replacing variables with given numbers and evaluating the result following the correct order of operations.
因式分解是展开的逆运算。其过程是找到一个公因式，并将表达式写成乘积形式：6x + 9 = 3(2x + 3)。某些二次表达式可分解为两个二项式，如 x² + 5x + 6 分解为 (x + 2)(x + 3)。代入法是指用给定的数值替换变量，并按照正确的运算顺序求出结果。
6. Solving Equations and Inequalities | 解方程与不等式
A linear equation has an unknown, usually x, with a power of 1. To solve it, we perform inverse operations on both sides to isolate the variable. For example, to solve 3x + 7 = 19, subtract 7 from both sides (3x = 12) and then divide by 3 (x = 4). It is essential to keep the equation balanced at all times. Checking the solution by substituting it back into the original equation confirms accuracy.
线性方程含有一个未知数，通常表示为 x，且它的指数为 1。解方程时，要对等式两边进行逆运算，以分离出变量。例如解 3x + 7 = 19，两边先减去 7（得 3x = 12），再除以 3（得 x = 4）。必须始终保持等式平衡。将解代入原方程检验可确保答案正确。
Inequalities use the symbols >, <, ≥ and ≤ to show that one expression is greater or smaller than another. Solving an inequality is similar to solving an equation, but multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. The solution set can be displayed on a number line with open or closed circles to show whether an endpoint is included.
不等式使用 >、<、≥ 和 ≤ 等符号来表示一个式子大于或小于另一个式子。解不等式与解方程类似，但当两边乘或除以一个负数时，不等号的方向会反转。可以在数轴上用空心或实心圆点表示解集，用以标明边界值是否包含在内。
7. Sequences and Patterns | 数列与规律
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers following a rule. An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference (d) between terms. The nᵗʰ term of an arithmetic sequence can be expressed as a linear rule: nᵗʰ term = a + (n – 1)d, where a is the first term. For example, the sequence 5, 9, 13, 17, … has nᵗʰ term 5 + 4(n – 1) = 4n + 1.
数列是按照某种规则排列的一列数。等差数列的相邻两项之差（d）为常数。等差数列的第 n 项可以表示为线性公式：第 n 项 = a + (n – 1)d，其中 a 是首项。例如数列 5, 9, 13, 17, … 的第 n 项为 5 + 4(n – 1) = 4n + 1。
Other sequences may involve powers, fractions, or alternating signs. To find the next term or a specific term, identify the pattern by examining differences or ratios. Generating terms from a rule and deriving the rule from a given sequence are both key skills. Real-life patterns such as tile arrangements or savings growth can be modelled using sequences.
其他数列可能包含幂次、分数或交替符号。要找出后续项或特定项，需通过分析差值或比值来识别规律。根据规则生成项，或根据给出的数列推导规则，都是关键技能。现实中的模式，如瓷砖排列或储蓄增长，可以用数列来建模。
8. Coordinates and Linear Graphs | 坐标与线性图像
The position of a point in a plane is given by a pair of coordinates (x, y). The equation of a straight line can be written in the form y = mx + c, where m is the gradient (steepness) and c is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). The gradient is calculated as (change in y) ÷ (change in x) or rise/run. A line with a positive gradient slopes upwards, while a negative gradient slopes downwards.
平面上点的位置用坐标对 (x, y) 表示。直线的方程可以写成 y = mx + c 的形式，其中 m 是斜率（坡度），c 是 y 轴截距（直线与 y 轴的交点）。斜率计算公式为 (y 的变化量) ÷ (x 的变化量)，即纵向增量/横向增量。斜率为正的直线向上倾斜，斜率为负的则向下倾斜。
To plot a straight-line graph, create a table of values by choosing x-values and calculating the corresponding y-values. The graph of a linear equation is always a straight line. Recognising that parallel lines have the same gradient and perpendicular lines have gradients whose product is –1 deepens the understanding of the coordinate plane.
要画出一条直线的图像，可以选取若干个 x 值，计算出对应的 y 值，形成一张数值表。线性方程的图像始终是一条直线。认识到平行线具有相同的斜率，而互相垂直的直线斜率之积为 –1，可以加深对坐标平面的理解。
9. Angles and Polygons | 角与多边形
Angles are measured in degrees. On a straight line, angles sum to 180°; around a point, they sum to 360°. Vertically opposite angles are equal. In parallel lines, corresponding angles are equal, alternate angles are equal, and interior (co-interior) angles sum to 180°. These angle facts are used to find missing angles in complex diagrams.
角的度量单位是度。平角的总和为 180°；围绕一个点的周角总和为 360°。对顶角相等。在平行线中，同位角相等，内错角相等，同旁内角之和为 180°。这些角度知识可用于求解复杂图形中的未知角。
A polygon is a closed shape with straight sides. The sum of interior angles of an n-sided polygon is (n – 2) × 180°. For a regular polygon, all sides and angles are equal, so each interior angle is (n – 2) × 180° ÷ n. The exterior angles of any polygon always sum to 360°, and for a regular polygon each exterior angle is 360° ÷ n.
多边形是由直线段组成的封闭图形。n 边形的内角和为 (n – 2) × 180°。在正多边形中，所有边和角都相等，因此每个内角为 (n – 2) × 180° ÷ n。任何多边形的外角和恒为 360°，正多边形的每个外角则为 360° ÷ n。
10. Perimeter, Area and Volume | 周长、面积与体积
Perimeter is the total distance around a 2D shape. Area measures the space inside it, expressed in square units. Key area formulas include: rectangle A = l × w, triangle A = ½ × b × h, parallelogram A = b × h, trapezium A = ½ × (a + b) × h. For a circle, circumference C = 2πr and area A = πr², where r is the radius and π ≈ 3.14.
周长是二维图形一周的总长度。面积度量图形内部的空间，用平方单位表示。关键面积公式包括：矩形 A = 长 × 宽，三角形 A = ½ × 底 × 高，平行四边形 A = 底 × 高，梯形 A = ½ × (上底 + 下底) × 高。对于圆，周长 C = 2πr，面积 A = πr²，其中 r 为半径，π ≈ 3.14。
Volume measures the space a 3D solid occupies. The volume of a prism is found by multiplying the area of its cross-section by its length: V = A × l. For a cuboid of length l, width w, height h, V = l × w × h. Surface area is the total area of all faces. Students should confidently convert between units of length (cm to m), area (cm² to m²), and volume (cm³ to litres).
体积度量三维立体所占据的空间。柱体的体积等于横截面积乘以长度：V = A × l。对于长方体，若长为 l、宽为 w、高为 h，则 V = l × w × h。表面积是所有面的面积总和。学生应熟练掌握长度单位（厘米与米）、面积单位（平方厘米与平方米）以及体积单位（立方厘米与升）之间的换算。
11. Pythagoras’ Theorem | 勾股定理
Pythagoras’ theorem applies to right-angled triangles. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This can be written as:
c² = a² + b²
Where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a, b are the lengths of the two shorter sides. The theorem is used both to find an unknown side length and to verify whether a triangle is right-angled by checking if a² + b² = c².
勾股定理适用于直角三角形。它指出斜边（直角所对的边）的平方等于另外两条边的平方和。可写为：
c² = a² + b²
其中 c 为斜边长度，a、b 为两条直角边的长度。该定理既可用于求未知边长度，也可通过检验 a² + b² 是否等于 c² 来验证一个三角形是否为直角三角形。
Solving problems with Pythagoras’ theorem involves rearranging the formula to find a shorter side: a² = c² – b². In three-dimensional contexts, the theorem can be applied twice to find the space diagonal of a cuboid: d² = l² + w² + h². Understanding and applying this theorem is a cornerstone of geometry at this level.
用勾股定理解决问题时，可通过移项求直角边的长度：a² = c² – b²。在三维问题中，可以两次应用定理来求长方体的空间对角线：d² = l² + w² + h²。理解并运用这一定理是该阶段几何的基石。
12. Data Handling and Probability | 数据处理与概率
Statistics deals with collecting, organising, and interpreting data. The mean (average) is found by summing all values and dividing by the number of values. The median is the middle value when data are ordered; the mode is the most frequent value; and the range is the difference between the largest and smallest values. Graphs like bar charts, pie charts, and scatter graphs help visualise distributions and relationships.
统计学涉及数据的收集、整理和解读。平均数（均值）通过将所有数值相加再除以数值个数求得。中位数是数据排序后位于中间的值；众数是出现频率最高的值；极差是最大值与最小值之差。条形图、饼图和散点图等图表有助于可视化数据分布及关系。
Probability measures how likely an event is to happen, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). For equally likely outcomes, probability = (number of favourable outcomes) ÷ (total number of outcomes). Expected frequency is calculated by multiplying the probability of an event by the number of trials. Sample space diagrams and two-way tables are useful tools for listing outcomes in multi-stage experiments.
概率度量一个事件发生的可能性大小，其值介于 0（不可能）与 1（必然）之间。对于等可能结果，概率 = (有利结果数) ÷ (总结果数)。期望频数等于事件的概率乘以试验次数。样本空间图和双向表格是列出多阶段实验中所有结果的实用工具。
