1. Directed Numbers and Order of Operations | 有向数与运算顺序
Directed numbers are positive and negative numbers used to describe direction, temperature, debt or height below sea level. Adding a negative number moves left on the number line, and subtracting a negative number moves right.
有向数是用来描述方向、温度、负债或海平面以下高度的正数和负数。加上一个负数在数轴上向左移动，减去一个负数则向右移动。
The order of operations must be applied carefully when negatives and powers appear together. Use Brackets, Indices, Division and Multiplication left to right, then Addition and Subtraction left to right.
当负数和幂一起出现时，必须仔细应用运算顺序。先算括号、指数、再从左到右算除法和乘法，最后从左到右算加法和减法。
(−5) × (−3) = 15 and −5² = −25 because the index acts on 5 only
In the first calculation both signs are negative so the product is positive. In the second calculation the square applies to 5 first, then the negative sign is applied, giving −25.
在第一个计算中两个符号都是负的，所以乘积为正。在第二个计算中平方先作用于 5，然后再应用负号，因此得到 −25。
2. Algebraic Simplification | 代数式化简
Like terms have exactly the same variable part. Only like terms can be added or subtracted. For example, 3a and 5a combine to 8a, but 3a and 3a² do not combine.
同类项具有完全相同的变量部分。只有同类项才能相加或相减。例如 3a 和 5a 合并为 8a，但 3a 和 3a² 不能合并。
The distributive law lets us expand brackets by multiplying every term inside the bracket by the factor outside. Factorising is the reverse process: putting the highest common factor outside a bracket.
分配律允许我们展开括号，方法是用括号外的因式乘以括号内的每一项。因式分解是相反的过程：把最大公因式提到括号外。
3(2x + 5) = 6x + 15 and 4x + 12 = 4(x + 3)
Always expand brackets before collecting like terms. In a mixed expression, multiply out first, then group the terms that have the same variable or are constants.
在合并同类项之前一定要先展开括号。在混合表达式中，先乘开，然后把有相同变量的项或常数项分组。
3. Solving Linear Equations | 解一元一次方程
Linear equations can be solved using the balance method. Whatever operation is done to one side must also be done to the other side so the equation stays balanced.
线性方程可以用平衡法求解。对等式一边进行什么运算，另一边也必须进行同样的运算，这样等式才能保持平衡。
When the unknown appears on both sides, collect the variable terms on one side and the number terms on the other. Then divide by the coefficient of the unknown.
当未知数出现在等式两边时，把含未知数的项移到一边，把数字项移到另一边。然后除以未知数的系数。
5x − 3 = 2x + 9 → 5x − 2x = 9 + 3 → 3x = 12 → x = 4
If the equation includes brackets, expand them first. If it includes fractions, multiply every term by the lowest common denominator before solving.
如果方程含有括号，先展开括号。如果含有分数，在求解前先用最小公分母乘以每一项。
4. Linear Graphs and Gradient | 线性图像与斜率
c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. The gradient measures how steep the line is.
线性图像具有方程 y = mx + c，其中 m 是斜率，c 是 y 轴截距。斜率衡量直线的倾斜程度。
The gradient between two points is the change in y divided by the change in x. A positive gradient rises to the right, and a negative gradient falls to the right.
两点之间的斜率等于 y 的变化量除以 x 的变化量。正斜率向右上升，负斜率向右下降。
m = Δy ÷ Δx = (y₂ − y₁) ÷ (x₂ − x₁)
gradient 0 and equation y = c; a vertical line has undefined gradient and equation x = k.
平行线具有相同的斜率。水平线的斜率为 0，方程为 y = c；垂直线的斜率不存在，方程为 x = k。
5. Ratio, Proportion and Rates | 比、比例与比率
A ratio compares quantities in the same unit. Ratios should be simplified by dividing all parts by their highest common factor, just like simplifying fractions.
比用来比较同一单位下的数量。比应该用最大公因数去除所有部分来化简，就像化简分数一样。
To divide a quantity in a given ratio, find the total number of parts, divide the quantity by that total, then multiply by each part of the ratio.
按给定比例分配一个量时，先求出总份数，用总量除以总份数，然后乘以比中的每一份。
Divide 60 in the ratio 2 : 3 → total parts = 5 → 12 per part → 24 : 36
Rates compare two quantities with different units, such as km per hour or cost per litre. Best-buy problems compare unit rates by dividing the total cost by the quantity.
比率比较两个不同单位的量，例如每小时千米数或每升价格。最划算购买问题通过用总价除以数量来比较单位比率。
6. Percentages and Compound Change | 百分数与复合变化
A percentage is a fraction out of 100. To find a percentage of an amount, convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply. To increase by p%, multiply by 1 + p/100.
百分数是分母为 100 的分数。求一个数的百分比时，把百分数转换为小数再相乘。增加 p% 时，乘以 1 + p/100。
Compound interest applies repeated percentage increases. The multiplier is raised to the power of the number of time periods, not multiplied by the number of periods.
复利应用重复的百分比增长。乘数要乘时间期数的幂，而不是乘以期数。
A = P(1 + r/100)ⁿ
a percentage change, divide by the multiplier. For example, if a price of 88 is after a 10% increase, the original price was 88 ÷ 1.10 = 80.
求百分比变化前的原数时，要除以乘数。例如如果价格 88 是增加 10% 后的价格，那么原价为 88 ÷ 1.10 = 80。
7. Perimeter, Area and Volume | 周长、面积与体积
Perimeter is the distance around a 2-D shape. Area is the space inside the shape, measured in square units. Volume is the space inside a 3-D solid, measured in cubic units.
周长是二维图形周围的长度。面积是图形内部的空间，以平方单位计量。体积是三维立体内部的空间，以立方单位计量。
The area of a triangle is half the base times the vertical height. The area of a trapezium is half the sum of the parallel sides times the perpendicular height.
三角形面积等于底乘垂直高度的一半。梯形面积等于两平行边之和的一半乘垂直高度。
Area of trapezium = ½(a + b)h
area multiplied by the length. For a cylinder, the cross-section is a circle, so V = πr²h.
棱柱的体积等于横截面积乘以长度。对于圆柱体，横截面是圆，所以 V = πr²h。
8. Probability and Sample Spaces | 概率与样本空间
Probability measures how likely an event is, on a scale from 0 to 1. The probability of an event is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of equally likely outcomes.
概率衡量事件发生的可能性，范围从 0 到 1。事件的概率等于有利结果的数量除以所有等可能结果的总数。
f all mutually exclusive outcomes add to 1. For complementary events, P(A) + P(not A) = 1.
所有互斥结果的概率之和为 1。对于互补事件，P(A) + P(非 A) = 1。
P(A) = number of favourable outcomes ÷ total number of outcomes
A sample space diagram lists all possible outcomes. For independent events, multiply the separate probabilities to find the probability of both events happening.
样本空间图列出所有可能的结果。对于独立事件，将各自的概率相乘即可求出两个事件同时发生的概率。
9. Statistics: Averages and Spread | 统计：平均数与离散程度
The mean is found by adding all values and dividing by how many values there are. The median is the middle value when data are ordered, and the mode is the most frequent value.
平均数是把所有数值相加再除以数值的个数。中位数是数据排序后的中间值，众数是出现次数最多的值。
The range measures spread and is the largest value minus the smallest value. A small range means the data are more consistent; a large range means more variability.
极差衡量离散程度，等于最大值减去最小值。极差小说明数据更一致；极差大说明数据变化更大。
Mean = sum of values ÷ number of values and Range = largest value − smallest value
An outlier is an unusually high or low value. Outliers affect the mean much more than they affect the median, so the median can be more useful for skewed data.
异常值是异常高或异常低的值。异常值对平均数的影响远大于对中位数的影响，因此对于偏斜数据，中位数可能更有用。
10. Angles and Polygon Reasoning | 角与多边形推理
Angles on a straight line add to 180°, angles around a point add to 360°, and vertically opposite angles are equal. These facts are the basis of many angle problems.
直线上的角的和为 180°，围绕一个点的角的和为 360°，对顶角相等。这些事实是许多角度问题的基础。
iangle is 180°. In any polygon with n sides, the sum of interior angles is (n − 2) × 180°.
三角形内角和为 180°。在任意 n 边形中，内角和为 (n − 2) × 180°。
Sum of interior angles = (n − 2) × 180° and Exterior angle sum = 360°
In a regular polygon, all interior angles are equal and all exterior angles are equal. Each exterior angle is 360° divided by the number of sides.
在正多边形中，所有内角相等，所有外角也相等。每个外角等于 360° 除以边数。
11. Transformations and Congruence | 变换与全等
Transformations move or change shapes on a coordinate grid. Translation slides a shape, reflection flips it over a mirror line, and rotation turns it about a centre point.
变换在坐标网格上移动或改变图形。平移使图形滑动，反射使图形沿镜像线翻转，旋转使图形绕中心点转动。
Enlargement changes the size of a shape by a scale factor. If the scale factor is greater than 1 the shape gets bigger; if it is between 0 and 1 the shape gets smaller.
放大通过比例因子改变图形的大小。如果比例因子大于 1，图形变大；如果在 0 和 1 之间，图形变小。
Image length = original length × scale factor
Congruent shapes are exactly the same size and shape. Reflections, rotations and translations produce congruent images, but enlargements produce similar images unless the scale factor is 1.
全等图形的大小和形状完全相同。反射、旋转和平移产生全等的像，但放大会产生相似图形，除非比例因子为 1。
12. Indices and Standard Form | 指数与标准形式
Indices show repeated multiplication. The basic laws are: multiply by adding powers, divide by subtracting powers, and raise a power to a power by multiplying the powers.
指数表示重复相乘。基本法则是：同底数幂相乘指数相加，同底数幂相除指数相减，幂的乘方指数相乘。
aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ and aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ and (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ
zero number raised to the power 0 is 1. A negative index means the reciprocal: a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ.
任何非零数的 0 次幂都是 1。负指数表示倒数：a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ。
a < 10 and n is an integer. For example, 3 400 000 = 3.4 × 10⁶ and 0.000 62 = 6.2 × 10⁻⁴.
标准形式把很大或很小的数写成 a × 10ⁿ，其中 1 ≤ a < 10，n 为整数。例如 3 400 000 = 3.4 × 10⁶，0.000 62 = 6.2 × 10⁻⁴。
