1. Number Sense and Place Value | 数感与位值
A strong grasp of place value underpins all numerical work. In Book 9S, students explore integers, decimals and the effect of multiplying or dividing by powers of 10. Negative numbers are extended to all four operations, with careful attention to order of operations (BIDMAS/BODMAS).
牢固掌握位值是所有数字运算的基础。在本书中，学生探索整数、小数以及乘以或除以10的幂次的影响。负数运算扩展到四则运算，并特别注意运算顺序（BIDMAS/BODMAS——括号、指数、乘除、加减）。
- Place value columns: units, tens, hundreds, tenths, hundredths, etc. Moving digits left multiplies by 10; moving right divides by 10.
- 位值列：个位、十位、百位、十分位、百分位等。数字左移一位乘以10；右移一位除以10。
- Negative numbers: Adding a negative is subtracting; subtracting a negative is adding. Multiplication and division of two negatives give a positive.
- 负数：加一个负数等于减去它的相反数；减去一个负数等于加上它的相反数。两个负数相乘或相除结果为正。
- Order of operations: Brackets first, then Indices (powers), then Division and Multiplication (left to right), then Addition and Subtraction (left to right).
- 运算顺序：先算括号，再算指数（乘方），然后乘除（从左到右），最后加减（从左到右）。
2. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages | 分数、小数和百分比
Fluency in converting between fractions, decimals and percentages is essential. Book 9S revises equivalent fractions, simplifying, and then moves on to operations with fractions, including mixed numbers, and solving problems involving percentage increase and decrease, including reverse percentages.
能够在分数、小数和百分比之间熟练转换至关重要。本书复习等值分数、约分，然后学习分数的运算（包括带分数），以及解决涉及百分比增减的问题，包括逆向百分比问题。
- Converting: To change a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. To change a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100.
- 转换：分数化小数，用分子除以分母。小数化百分比，乘以100。
- Adding/subtracting fractions: Find a common denominator, convert, then add/subtract numerators. For mixed numbers, add whole parts and fraction parts separately.
- 分数加减：通分找到公分母，转换后对分子进行加减。带分数则将整数部分和分数部分分别相加减。
- Multiplying fractions: Multiply numerators together and denominators together. Simplify if possible.
- 分数乘法：分子乘分子，分母乘分母。能约分则约分。
- Dividing fractions: Multiply by the reciprocal (flip the second fraction and multiply).
- 分数除法：乘以倒数（将第二个分数的分子分母互换后再相乘）。
- Percentage increase/decrease : New amount = original × (1 ± percentage as a decimal). For reverse, divide by the multiplier.
- 百分比增减：新量 = 原量 × (1 ± 百分比的小数形式)。逆向计算则除以该乘数。
3. Ratio and Proportion | 比与比例
Ratio compares the sizes of two or more parts, while proportion relates a part to the whole. In Book 9S, students simplify ratios, divide a quantity into a given ratio, and solve problems using direct proportion and the unitary method. They also explore map scales and scale factors.
比用于比较两个或多个部分的大小，比例则将部分与整体联系起来。在本书中，学生化简比、按给定比分配数量，以及利用正比例和单位法解决问题。他们还探索地图比例尺与缩放因子。
- Simplifying ratios: Divide all parts by their highest common factor. Ratios have no units.
- 化简比：将所有部分除以它们的最大公因数。比不带单位。
- Sharing in a ratio: Find the total number of parts, divide the quantity by that total, then multiply by the number of parts for each share.
- 按比分配：求总份数，用总量除以总份数得到一份的量，再乘以各部分的份数。
- Direct proportion: y ∝ he constant of proportionality. Use the unitary method: find the value for one unit first.
- 正比例：y ∝ x 表示 y = kx，其中 k 为比例常数。使用单位法：先求一个单位的对应值。
- Scale drawings g length ÷ actual length. Enlargement and reduction use the same multiplier for all sides.
- 比例尺图：比例尺 = 图上长度 ÷ 实际长度。放大和缩小对所有边长使用相同的乘数。
4. Algebraic Expressions and Manipulation | 代数表达式与变形
Algebra in Book 9S moves from simple substitution to expanding brackets, factorising linear and simple quadratic expressions, and using the laws of indices. Pupils learn to write expressions for real‑life situations and to simplify by collecting like terms.
本书中的代数从简单的代入求值进阶到展开括号、因式分解线性表达式和简单二次表达式，以及运用指数律。学生学会为实际情境写代数表达式，并通过合并同类项进行化简。
- Collecting like terms: Add or subtract coefficients of terms with exactly the same variable part. Constants combine separately.
- 合并同类项：将具有完全相同字母部分的项的系数相加或相减。常数项单独合并。
- Expanding brackets : Multiply each term inside the bracket by the term outside: a(b + c) = ab + ac. Double brackets: (x + a)(x + b) = x² + (a+b)x + ab.
- 展开括号：用括号外的项乘以括号内的每一项：a(b + c) = ab + ac。两个括号相乘：(x + a)(x + b) = x² + (a+b)x + ab。
- Factorising: The reverse of expanding. Take out the highest common factor. For quadratics like x² + 5x + 6, look for two numbers that add to 5 and multiply to 6, giving (x+2)(x+3).
- 因式分解：展开的逆运算。提取最大公因式。对于 x² + 5x + 6 这样的二次式，寻找相加得5、相乘得6的两个数，得到 (x+2)(x+3)。
- Laws of indices: aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ, aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ, (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ, a⁰ = 1, a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ.
- 指数律：aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ，aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ，(aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ，a⁰ = 1，a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ。
5. Linear Equations and Inequalities | 线性方程与不等式
Solving equations becomes more sophisticated, including those with unknowns on both sides, with brackets, and with fractional coefficients. Inequalities are solved similarly, but with attention to the sign change when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
方程的求解变得更加复杂，包括未知数在等号两边的方程、带括号的方程和系数为分数的方程。不等式的求解方法类似，但在除以或乘以负数时需注意变号。
- Solving equations: Use inverse operations to isolate the variable. Perform the same operation on both sides. Check your answer by substitution.
- 解方程：运用逆运算隔离变量。等号两边同时进行相同运算。通过代入检验答案。
- Equations with brackets: Expand first, then simplify and solve.
- 带括号的方程：先展开，再化简并求解。
- Unknowns on both sides: Eliminate the smaller variable term first by subtracting it from both sides.
- 未知数在两边：先消去较小的含变量项，即从两边减去该项。
- Inequalities: Solve like equations, but flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative. Represent solutions on a number line with open or closed circles.
- 不等式：解法同方程，但乘以或除以负数时要反转不等号方向。用数轴表示解集，空心圆圈和实心圆圈。
6. Sequences and Graphs | 数列与图像
Students generate terms of linear and quadratic sequences, find the nth term, and recognise arithmetic progressions. They plot coordinates in all four quadrants and draw straight‑line graphs from their equations, interpreting gradients and intercepts in real‑world contexts.

- 等差数列：相邻两项的差 d 为常数。第 n 项 = a + (n-1)d，a 为首项。
- Quadratic sequences: The second difference is constant. The nth term has an n² part. Compare with the sequence n² to find the exact rule.
- 二次数列：二次差为常数。第 n 项含有 n² 部分。通过与 n² 数列对比找到准确规则。
- Straight line graphs: Equation y = mx + c, where m is the gradient (rise/run) and c is the y‑intercept (where the line crosses the y‑axis).
- 直线图像：方程为 y = mx + c，m 代表斜率（纵增/横增），c 代表 y 轴截距（直线与 y 轴的交点）。
- Plotting graphs: Create a table of values for x, calculate y, plot the points and join with a straight line.
- 绘制图像：建立 x 值表，计算对应的 y 值，描点并用直线连接。
7. Angles and Polygons | 角与多边形
