Students consolidate their understanding of numbers, algebra, geometry, statistics and probability while developing logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. This article provides a structured overview of the core knowledge points you are expected to master, offering both English and Chinese explanations to support bilingual learners.
Year 9 是剑桥数学从 KS3 向 IGCSE 过渡的关键阶段。学生需要巩固数、代数、几何、统计与概率的基础，发展逻辑推理和解决实际问题的能力。本文以中英双语梳理核心知识点，帮助双语学习者系统掌握考试重点。
1. Number and Operations | 数与运算
Confident use of integers, fractions, decimals and percentages is essential. You must be able to order and compare numbers, perform all four operations, and apply the correct order of operations (BIDMAS/BODMAS).
熟练掌握整数、分数、小数和百分数至关重要。需要能够排序和比较数，执行四则运算，并正确使用运算顺序（BIDMAS/BODMAS）。

- (-3) + (-5) = -8; (-4) - (-7) = 3
- (-2) × 6 = -12; (-15) ÷ (-3) = 5
负数的加减：同号相加取同号，异号相减看绝对值。乘除时，同号得正，异号得负。
- (-3) + (-5) = -8；(-4) - (-7) = 3
- (-2) × 6 = -12；(-15) ÷ (-3) = 5

3(2x - 1) = 4x + 5 → 6x - 3 = 4x + 5 → 2x = 8 → x = 4
ving inequalities follows the same steps as equations, but remember: if you multiply or divide by a negative number, reverse the inequality sign.
不等式：符号 <, >, ≤, ≥。解法与方程类似，但注意：乘或除以负数时，不等号方向要反转。
