1. Numbers and Operations | 数与运算
At this stage, you must be comfortable working with integers, decimals, and negative numbers. The order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS) is critical: Brackets, Orders (powers and roots), Division and Multiplication (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right). You will also explore factors, multiples, prime numbers, and square/cube numbers. Recognising prime factors and using them to find HCF (Highest Common Factor) and LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) is a key skill.
在这一阶段，你需要熟练处理整数、小数和负数。运算顺序（BODMAS/PEMDAS）至关重要：先算括号，再算指数（乘方与开方），然后是乘除（从左到右），最后是加减（从左到右）。你还会探究因数、倍数、质数以及平方数与立方数。识别质因数并用它们求最大公因数（HCF）和最小公倍数（LCM）是一项关键技能。
. For example, multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive result: (-3) × (-4) = 12.
自信地处理负数意味着要理解数轴上的加、减、乘、除。例如，两个负数相乘得到正数：(-3) × (-4) = 12。
Key terms: integer, negative, positive, factor, multiple, prime, square number, cube number, square root, cube root, HCF, LCM.
关键术语：整数、负数、正数、因数、倍数、质数、平方数、立方数、平方根、立方根、最大公因数、最小公倍数。
2. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages | 分数、小数与百分数
You need to move fluently between fractions, decimals, and percentages. Convert a fraction like 3/5 to a decimal (0.6) and to a percentage (60%). Equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions, and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers are fundamental. Operations with fractions (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing) require a solid grasp of common denominators and reciprocals.
你需要熟练地在分数、小数和百分数之间进行转换。例如把分数 3/5 转换成小数 0.6 和百分数 60%。等值分数、约分以及把假分数化成带分数都是基础。分数的四则运算（加、减、乘、除）需要牢固掌握公分母和倒数的概念。
When multiplying fractions, simply multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. For division, invert the second fraction and multiply. Percentages are used to express a number as a fraction of 100. You will calculate percentages of quantities, percentage increase and decrease, and solve reverse percentage problems.
分数相乘时，直接将分子相乘、分母相乘；分数相除时，把除数的分子分母颠倒再相乘。百分数用于表示一个数占100的几分之几。你将计算一个数量的百分数、百分数增减以及逆向百分数问题。
Fraction to decimal: divide numerator by denominator. Decimal to percentage: multiply by 100.
分数化小数：用分子除以分母。小数化百分数：乘以100。
3. Ratio and Proportion | 比与比例
Ratio compares the sizes of two or more quantities. Ratios can be simplified just like fractions, by dividing all parts by a common factor. A ratio of 8:12 simplifies to 2:3. You will use ratios to divide a quantity into given parts, such as sharing £50 in the ratio 2:3. Direct proportion tells you that as one quantity increases, another increases at the same rate. You will also solve problems involving recipes, map scales, and best buys.
比用来比较两个或多个数量的大小。和分数一样，比可以通过除以公共因数来化简，例如 8:12 化简为 2:3。你将运用比来按给定比例分配一个总量，比如按 2:3 的比例分 50 英镑。正比例表示当一个量增加时，另一个量以相同的速率增加。你还会解决涉及配方、地图比例尺和最优购买的问题。
Understanding the link between ratio and fractions is important: a ratio of 2:3 means the first part is 2/5 of the whole, and the second part is 3/5 of the whole. Always express ratios in their simplest integer form.
理解比与分数的联系很重要：比 2:3 表示第一部分占总量的 2/5，第二部分占总量的 3/5。务必把比化为最简单的整数形式。
4. Algebraic Expressions | 代数表达式
and expand brackets. For example, 3a + 2b + 5a - b simplifies to 8a + b. Expanding a single bracket such as 4(x + 3) gives 4x + 12. You must also become familiar with using index notation for powers, like x² instead of x × x.
代数用字母表示未知数或变量。你将根据文字题构建表达式、合并同类项以及展开括号。例如，3a + 2b + 5a - b 化简为 8a + b。展开单个括号，如 4(x + 3) 得到 4x + 12。你还需熟悉使用指数记法表示乘方，比如用 x² 代替 x × x。
becomes 3(2) - 2(-1) = 6 + 2 = 8. Always follow the order of operations when substituting.
代入法是指用给定的数值替换字母。若 a = 2，b = -1，则表达式 3a - 2b 变成 3(2) - 2(-1) = 6 + 2 = 8。代入时务必遵循运算顺序。
5. Linear Equations | 线性方程
tion on both sides to isolate the variable. For equations like 2x + 5 = 13, subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x = 8, then divide by 2 to find x = 4. Equations may also have brackets, fractions, or variables on both sides.
解线性方程就是求出使等式成立的未知数的值。你将通过在等式两边执行相同的运算来解方程，从而隔离变量。对于形如 2x + 5 = 13 的方程，两边先减 5 得 2x = 8，再除以 2 得 x = 4。方程也可能含有括号、分数或两边都含变量。
, so x = 7. Always check your solution by substituting it back into the original equation.
对于像 3(x - 2) = 2x + 1 的方程，先展开得 3x - 6 = 2x + 1，然后两边减 2x 得 x - 6 = 1，所以 x = 7。始终要把求得的解代回原方程进行检验。
6. Sequences and Patterns | 序列与规律
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers that follows a rule. In Year 8 you mainly work with arithmetic sequences, where the difference between consecutive terms is constant. This is called the common difference. For the sequence 5, 8, 11, 14, …, the common difference is +3. You will learn to find the nth term (the general term) of such sequences.
序列是按照某种规律排列的一列有序数字。Year 8 主要学习等差数列，即相邻两项的差是一个常数，称为公差。对于序列 5, 8, 11, 14, …，公差是 +3。你将学习求这类序列的第 n 项（通项公式）。
ally written as: nth term = first term + (n - 1) × common difference. So for 5, 8, 11, 14, … 1) × 3 = 3n + 2. This allows you to find any term, such as the 20th term: 3(20) + 2 = 62.
等差数列的第 n 项公式通常写作：第 n 项 = 首项 + (n - 1) × 公差。因此对于 5, 8, 11, 14, …，通项为 5 + (n - 1) × 3 = 3n + 2。利用它可求出任意一项，例如第 20 项：3(20) + 2 = 62。
You will also recognise and continue non-linear sequences, such as square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16, …) and triangle numbers, and describe the pattern in words.
你还要识别并延续非线性的序列，比如平方数（1, 4, 9, 16, …）和三角形数，并用文字描述其规律。
7. Geometry: Angles and Shapes | 几何：角与形状
Angle facts are essential: angles on a straight line add up to 180°, angles around a point sum to 360°, and vertically opposite angles are equal. When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, you can identify corresponding angles, alternate angles, and co-interior (allied) angles. Corresponding angles are equal, alternate angles are equal, and co-interior angles sum to 180°.
角的性质至关重要：直线上的角之和为 180°，一点周围的角之和为 360°，对顶角相等。当一条截线与平行线相交时，你可以找出同位角、内错角和同旁内角。同位角相等，内错角相等，同旁内角之和为 180°。
In triangles, the sum of interior angles is always 180°. You will solve problems involving isosceles triangles (base angles equal) and equilateral triangles (all angles 60°). For quadrilaterals, the interior angle sum is 360°. You will also classify special quadrilaterals such as parallelograms, rhombuses, and trapeziums by their properties.
三角形内角和永远是 180°。你将解决涉及等腰三角形（底角相等）和等边三角形（每个角都是 60°）的问题。四边形的内角和是 360°。你还要根据性质区分特殊的四边形，比如平行四边形、菱形和梯形。
8. Perimeter, Area and Volume | 周长、面积与体积
Perimeter is the total distance around a shape. For regular polygons, multiply the side length by the number of sides. For compound shapes, add all outer side lengths. Area measures the space inside a 2D shape, expressed in square units (e.g., cm², m²). Key formulas include:
周长是围绕一个形状的总长度。对于正多边形，将边长乘以边数即可。对于复合图形，则将所有外边长度相加。面积度量二维图形内部的空间，以平方单位表示（如 cm², m²）。关键公式包括：
Rectangle area = length × width
Triangle area = ½ × base × height
Parallelogram area = base × height
Trapezium area = ½ × (a + b) × height
矩形面积 = 长 × 宽
三角形面积 = ½ × 底 × 高
平行四边形面积 = 底 × 高
梯形面积 = ½ × (上底 + 下底) × 高
ght. You will also calculate the surface area of a cuboid by finding the total area of all six rectangular faces.
对于三维立体，体积表示其内部空间大小，以立方单位（cm³, m³）计量。长方体（立方体）的体积为长 × 宽 × 高。你还要通过计算六个矩形面的总面积来求长方体的表面积。
9. Coordinates and Graphs | 坐标与图像
You will work in all four quadrants of the coordinate grid, plotting points using (x, y). The x-axis is horizontal, the y-axis vertical. The midpoint of the line segment joining two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is found by averaging the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates: ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).
你将在坐标网格的全部四个象限中进行操作，用 (x, y) 绘制点。x 轴为水平轴，y 轴为竖直轴。连接两点 (x₁, y₁) 和 (x₂, y₂) 的线段中点，可通过求 x 坐标的平均值和 y 坐标的平均值得到：((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)。
nd draw the line. Recognising that the coefficient of x is the gradient (steepness) and the constant term is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis) helps you sketch graphs quickly. You will also interpret real-life distance-time and conversion graphs.
线性图像形成直线。你将根据方程如 y = 2x + 1 生成一些坐标点，描点并连线。认识到 x 的系数是斜率（倾斜程度），常数项是 y 轴截距（直线与 y 轴的交点），有助于你快速绘制图像。你还要解读现实生活中的距离-时间图和换算图。
10. Statistics and Probability | 统计与概率
Statistics involves collecting, representing, and interpreting data. You will calculate the mean (average) by summing all values and dividing by the number of values. The median is the middle value when data is ordered; the mode is the most frequent value; the range is the difference between the largest and smallest values. Averages and range describe typical values and spread.
统计学涉及数据的收集、表示和解读。你将计算平均数（均值），即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；极差是最大值与最小值的差。平均数和极差分别描述典型值和分散程度。
Data can be displayed using bar charts, pictograms, line graphs, and pie charts. When interpreting pie charts, remember that the whole circle (360°) represents the total, and each sector angle is proportional to the frequency. You will also design simple questionnaires and critique how data is collected.
数据可以用条形图、象形图、折线图和饼图来展示。解读饼图时要记住，整个圆（360°）表示总数，每个扇形的圆心角与其频数成比例。你还要设计简单的调查问卷，并评判数据的收集方式。
Probability measures how likely an event is to happen, on a scale from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). The probability of an event is: number of favourable outcomes / total number of possible outcomes. You will list all possible outcomes using sample spaces and calculate probabilities for single events.
概率用 0（不可能）到 1（必然）之间的数值来衡量事件发生的可能性。事件的概率为：有利结果数 / 可能结果总数。你将使用样本空间列出所有可能的结果，并计算单个事件的概率。
