1. Algebraic Manipulation | 代数运算
raic fractions and rearrange formulae. Essential skills include applying the distributive law, collecting like terms, and recognising key identities such as (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² and (a − b)(a + b) = a² − b². For quadratics, factorising into (x + p)(x + q) where p + q = b and pq = c is a fundamental technique.
代数运算是进阶数学的基石。你必须能够熟练地展开和因式分解表达式、处理代数分式以及变换公式。关键技能包括应用分配律、合并同类项，并识别重要恒等式，如 (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² 和 (a − b)(a + b) = a² − b²。对于二次三项式，分解为 (x + p)(x + q) 且满足 p + q = b 和 pq = c 是基本技巧。
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
a² − b² = (a + b)(a − b)
e x the subject in y = mx + c, subtract c first, then divide by m, giving x = (y − c) / m.
在变换公式时，把目标变量看作未知数，逐步进行逆运算。例如要把 y = mx + c 中的 x 变为对象，先减去 c，再除以 m，得到 x = (y − c) / m。
2. Linear and Quadratic Equations | 一次与二次方程
thods are available: factorising, completing the square, and the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula x = (−b ± √b² − 4ac c ax² + bx + c = 0 and is especially useful when the expression does not factorise neatly.
准确解方程是一项核心技能。对于一次方程，使用逆运算分离变量。对于二次方程，主要方法有三种：因式分解、配方法和求根公式。求根公式 x = (−b ± √b² − 4ac) / 2a 适用于任何 ax² + bx + c = 0 形式的二次方程，尤其在分解不顺利时非常有用。
x = (−b ± √b² − 4ac) / 2a
hich also reveals the vertex of the parabola. Always check solutions by substituting back into the original equation. For equations involving fractions, multiply through by the common denominator to clear fractions before solving.
配方法将二次方程转化为 (x + p)² = q 的形式，同时也能揭示抛物线的顶点。始终将解代回原方程检验。对于含分数的方程，先乘以公分母消去分母再求解。
3. Inequalities | 不等式
ign. Solutions are often expressed on a number line using open or closed circles, or in set notation such as {x | 3, ∞). For compound inequalities like −2 < 2x + 1 ≤ 5, solve by isolating x in the middle.
解不等式与解方程类似，但有一个关键区别：乘以或除以负数时，不等号方向要改变。解集通常用空心或实心圆点在数轴上表示，或用集合符号如 {x | x > 3} 和区间符号 (3, ∞) 表示。对于像 −2 < 2x + 1 ≤ 5 这样的复合不等式，通过将中间部分分离出 x 来求解。
Quadratic inequalities require a different approach. After rearranging to one side, find the critical values where the quadratic is zero. Then test intervals to determine where the inequality holds. For example, x² − 4x + 3 > 0 factorises to (x − 1)(x − 3) > 0; the solution is x < 1 or x > 3.
二次不等式需要不同的方法。移项后找出使二次式为零的临界值，然后测试区间以确定不等式成立的区域。例如 x² − 4x + 3 > 0 因式分解为 (x − 1)(x − 3) > 0，解为 x < 1 或 x > 3。
4. Functions and Graphs | 函数与图像
² + bx + c. The graph of a linear function is a straight line; m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. To plot, calculate a few points or use the gradient–intercept method.
函数是一种给每个输入分配唯一输出的规则。在 Year 9 中，你接触线性函数 f(x) = mx + c 和二次函数 f(x) = ax² + bx + c。线性函数的图像是一条直线；m 是斜率，c 是 y 轴截距。作图时，可计算几个点或使用斜截法。
y = mx + c
axis of symmetry x = −b / 2a. Intercepts with the axes are found by setting x = 0 or y = 0. Functions can also be transformed: f(x) + k shifts vertically, f(x + h) shifts horizontally, and af(x) stretches or compresses vertically.
二次函数图像为抛物线。若 a > 0，抛物线开口向上；若 a < 0，开口向下。关键特征包括顶点（转折点）和对称轴 x = −b / 2a。与坐标轴的交点可通过令 x = 0 或 y = 0 求得。函数还可进行变换：f(x) + k 纵向平移，f(x + h) 横向平移，af(x) 纵向伸缩。
5. Indices and Surds | 指数与根式
, (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ, and a⁰ = 1. Negative and fractional indices also appear: a⁻ⁿ = 1 / aⁿ and a1/n = ⁿ√a. For example, 82/3 = (³√8)² = 4. These rules must be applied fluently when manipulating algebraic terms.
指数法则是化简表达式的基础：aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ, aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ, (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ，以及 a⁰ = 1。负指数和分数指数也常出现：a⁻ⁿ = 1 / aⁿ，a1/n = ⁿ√a。例如 82/3 = (³√8)² = 4。处理代数项时必须熟练运用这些规则。
Surds are irrational roots, such as √2 or ³√5. Simplifying surds involves expressing the number under the root as a product of a perfect square and another factor: √48 = √16 × 3 = 4√3. Rationalising the denominator means eliminating surds from the denominator, e.g., 1/√2 = √2/2, or using conjugates for expressions like 1/(a + √b).
根式是无理数的根，如 √2 或 ³√5。化简根式需要将根号下的数表示为完全平方数与另一因子的乘积：√48 = √16 × 3 = 4√3。分母有理化指消去分母中的根号，例如 1/√2 = √2/2，或对于 1/(a + √b) 这样的表达式使用共轭式。
6. Coordinate Geometry | 坐标几何
/2) and the distance is √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]. The gradient m of the line through these points is (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁).
坐标几何在笛卡尔平面上将代数与几何联系起来。给定两点 (x₁, y₁) 和 (x₂, y₂)，中点为 ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)，距离为 √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]。通过这两点的直线斜率 m 为 (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)。
Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
Distance = √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]
lines have equal gradients, while perpendicular lines have gradients whose product is −1 (i.e., m₁ × m₂ = −1). You should also be able to find the intersection of two lines by solving their equations simultaneously.
已知一点坐标和斜率时，直线方程可写为 y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)，或待求出截距后写为 y = mx + c。平行线斜率相等，而垂直线斜率之积为 −1（即 m₁ × m₂ = −1）。你还应能通过联立方程求出两条直线的交点。
7. Geometry and Proof | 几何与证明
This topic extends basic angle facts and introduces formal proof. You must reason with vertically opposite angles, angles on a straight line (sum to 180°), angles around a point (360°), and properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal: corresponding angles are equal, alternate angles are equal, and interior angles sum to 180°.
本主题拓展基础角度知识并引入形式化证明。你需要运用对顶角相等、直线上的邻角（和为 180°）、绕点一周的角（和为 360°）以及平行线被截线所截的性质：同位角相等、内错角相等、同旁内角互补（和为 180°）。
celes triangles have two equal sides and two equal base angles. For polygons, the sum of interior angles of an n-sided shape is (n − 2) × 180°, and the sum of exterior angles is always 360°. Simple circle theorems, such as the angle in a semicircle is 90°, also appear.
三角形的性质至关重要：内角和为 180°，外角等于不相邻的两个内角之和，等腰三角形有两条等边和两个相等的底角。对于多边形，n 边形的内角和为 (n − 2) × 180°，外角和恒为 360°。简单的圆定理，如半圆上的圆周角为 90°，也会出现。
Proof style questions may ask you to show a particular angle or side relation by linking the above facts in a logical chain. Clearly state each reason alongside your steps.
证明类的题目可能要求你通过逻辑链将上述事实联系起来，说明某个角度或边的关系。每一步都要清晰说明理由。
8. Trigonometry | 三角学初步
Right‑ = adjacent / hypotenuse, tan θ = opposite / adjacent. These ratios allow you to find missing sides and angles. For a given triangle, label the hypotenuse (longest side), opposite (across from angle θ), and adjacent (next to θ) carefully.
通过正弦、余弦和正切比介绍直角三角形三角学。牢记 SOH CAH TOA：sin θ = 对边 / 斜边, cos θ = 邻边 / 斜边, tan θ = 对边 / 邻边。这些比可以用来求缺失的边长或角度。对于给定的三角形，仔细标注斜边（最长边）、对边（正对角 θ）和邻边（紧邻 θ）。
sin θ = O/H, cos θ = A/H, tan θ = O/A
You should memorise the exact values for common angles: sin 30° = 1/2, sin 45° = √2/2, sin 60° = √3/2; cos 30° = √3/2, cos 45° = √2/2, cos 60° = 1/2; tan 30° = 1/√3, tan 45° = 1, tan 60° = √3. These often appear in non‑calculator problems. Elevation and depression angles are applied in word problems — always draw a diagram.
你需要记住常见角的精确值：sin 30° = 1/2, sin 45° = √2/2, sin 60° = √3/2; cos 30° = √3/2, cos 45° = √2/2, cos 60° = 1/2; tan 30° = 1/√3, tan 45° = 1, tan 60° = √3。这些常出现在非计算器题目中。仰角和俯角应用于应用题中——一定要画图。
9. Vectors | 向量
vectors (x, y) or using i and j notation. The magnitude (length) of a vector v = (x, y) is |v| = √x² + y². Vectors can be added by adding corresponding components, and multiplied by a scalar to change their length without altering direction (unless the scalar is negative).
向量描述既有大小又有方向的量。在 Year 9 中，向量通常表示为列向量 (x, y) 或使用 i, j 符号。向量 v = (x, y) 的模（长度）为 |v| = √x² + y²。向量相加通过对应分量相加实现，标量乘法改变向量长度但不改变方向（除非标量为负）。
Geometrically, vector addition follows the 'nose‑to‑tail' tor AB = b − a, where a and b are the position vectors. Vectors are also used to prove geometric facts, such as showing a quadrilateral is a parallelogram by demonstrating opposite sides are parallel and equal.
几何上，向量加法遵循“首尾相接”规则。零向量 (0, 0) 没有大小。位置向量描述点相对于原点的位置。若 A 和 B 为两点，则向量 AB = b − a，其中 a, b 为位置向量。向量也用于证明几何事实，例如通过证明对边平行且相等来说明四边形是平行四边形。
10. Sequences | 数列
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers governed by a rule. Linear (arithmetic) sequences have a constant difference between terms. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by a + (n − 1)d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference. You should be able to continue a sequence, find the nth term from given terms, and use it to determine whether a particular number belongs to the sequence.
数列是按规则排列的有序数字列表。线性（等差）数列的相邻项之差为常数。等差数列的第 n 项公式为 a + (n − 1)d，其中 a 是首项，d 是公差。你应能续写数列、根据给定项求通项，并利用它判断某个数字是否属于该数列。
nth term = a + (n − 1)d
e second difference, then use known terms to set up equations for B and C. Sequences can also be generated by recurrence relations, where each term is defined by the previous one(s), e.g., uₙ₊₁ = 2uₙ + 1 with u₁ = 3.
二次数列的二次差分是常数。通项形式为 An² + Bn + C。要寻找公式，首先确定 A = 二次差的一半，然后利用已知项列出关于 B 和 C 的方程。数列也可由递推关系生成，每一项由前一项（或多项）定义，例如 uₙ₊₁ = 2uₙ + 1，u₁ = 3。
11. Statistics and Probability | 统计与概率
e value when ordered) and mode (most frequent). Range = maximum − minimum. For grouped data, estimate the mean using midpoints. Data can be displayed in bar charts, pie charts, stem‑and‑ . Scatter graphs may show correlation; a line of best fit can be used to make predictions.
统计涉及收集、表示和解释数据。懂得计算平均数（数值之和 ÷ 数值个数）、中位数（排序后中间的值）和众数（出现最频繁的值）。极差 = 最大值 − 最小值。对于分组数据，使用组中点估计平均数。数据可用柱形图、饼图、茎叶图和散点图呈现。散点图可显示相关性；最佳拟合线可用于预测。
Probability measures the chance of an event, from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). Theoretical probability is number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes. For combined events, distinguish between 'and' (multiply probabilities for independent events) and 'or' (add probabilities for mutually exclusive events). Probability tree diagrams help visualise successive events. Remember that the sum of probabilities of all outcomes adds to 1.
概率衡量事件发生的可能性，范围从 0（不可能）到 1（必然）。理论概率 = 有利结果数 / 所有可能结果总数。对于组合事件，“且”事件（独立事件，概率相乘）和“或”事件（互斥事件，概率相加）要区分开来。概率树状图有助于可视化连续事件。记住所有结果的概率之和为 1。
