1. 刻度解读与时间计算★★☆☆☆⏱ 10 min
✓ 计算器
你需要掌握常用测量仪器的刻度读数,包括直尺、量杯、台秤和温度计。请务必先确认刻度标记之间的增量值,不要默认每一格代表1个单位。
时间计算部分需要同时掌握12小时制(上午/下午)和24小时制格式。计算时间间隔时,可以先数整小时数再算剩余分钟数,也可以将时间全部转换为总分钟数后做减法,简化运算。
一辆巴士09:45出发,13:10抵达目的地。计算全程的总耗时,以小时和分钟为单位作答。
- 1
步骤1:计算09:45到12:45的时长,共3小时
- 2
步骤2:计算12:45到13:10的时长,共25分钟
- 3
步骤3:总行程时长为3小时25分钟
2. 估算与角度测量★☆☆☆☆⏱ 8 min
✓ 计算器
合理估算可以结合现实参考值:标准门高约2米,一个苹果质量约100克,一罐饮料容量约330毫升,普通汽车的行驶速度约为60千米每小时。只要你的估算值在合理小范围内,就不会被扣分。
用量角器测量角度时,将量角器的基线与角的其中一条边对齐,量角器的中心点对准角的顶点,读数精确到最接近的整度即可。
估算标准两层住宅的高度,单位为米。
- 1
步骤1:住宅的一层高度大约是1.5扇门的高度,约为3米
- 2
步骤2:两层总高度为2*3m=6m,因此合理估算范围为5到7米之间
3. 三位方位角★★★☆☆⏱ 12 min
✓ 计算器
三位方位角
从正北方向顺时针测量的角度,始终以三位数字书写,角度小于100°时需补前导零
例:
A direction 45° clockwise from North is written as 045°
方位角始终按顺时针方向测量,绝不能按逆时针方向测量。常见的参考方位角为000°(正北)、090°(正东)、180°(正南)、270°(正西)。
写出指向西南方向的三位方位角。
- 1
步骤1:正南方位角为180°,正西方位角为270°,西南方向位于二者正中间
- 2
步骤2:计算中间值:180 + 45 = 225°
- 3
步骤3:该方位角为225°(数值大于100°,无需补前导零)
4. 复合度量:速度与密度(需熟记公式)★★★☆☆⏱ 15 min
✓ 计算器
你必须熟记速度和密度的计算公式,考试中不会提供这些公式。代入数值前务必先统一所有单位,保证单位一致。
一名骑行者2小时15分钟内骑行了45km,计算他的平均速度,单位为km/h。
- 1
步骤1:将2小时15分钟转换为小数:15/60=0.25,因此总时间为2.25小时
- 2
步骤2:将数值代入速度公式:速度=45/2.25
- 3
- 4
步骤3:平均速度为20 km/h
5. 压强计算(提供公式)★★☆☆☆⏱ 10 min
✓ 计算器
压强公式在需要使用时一定会在题目中给出,因此你无需背诵。1帕斯卡(Pa)= 1牛顿每平方米(N/m²)。
将大小为200N的力作用在长2m、宽1m的长方形桌面上,计算桌面受到的压强,单位为Pa。
- 1
步骤1:计算桌面的面积:面积 = 长 × 宽 = 2 × 1 = 2 m²
- 2
步骤2:将数值代入给出的压强公式:压强 = 200 / 2
- 3
- 4
步骤3:压强 = 100 Pa
6. 常见陷阱
错误做法:
Writing bearings as 2 digits, e.g. 72° instead of 072°
原因:
Three-figure format is required by the specification, missing leading zeros lose marks
正确做法:
Add leading zeros to all bearings less than 100° to make 3 digits
错误做法:
Calculating speed using time in minutes without converting to hours for km/h units
原因:
Inconsistent units produce incorrect numerical results
正确做法:
Convert all input units to match the required output units before substituting into formulae
错误做法:
Measuring bearings anticlockwise from North
原因:
Bearings are defined as clockwise from North, anticlockwise measurement gives the wrong angle
正确做法:
Always measure angles clockwise starting from the North line
错误做法:
Using pressure = area/force instead of the given formula
原因:
Misapplying the given formula leads to incorrect results even if you know the relationship
正确做法:
Copy the pressure formula exactly as written in the question before substituting values
错误做法:
Rounding angle measurements to the nearest 10 degrees instead of nearest degree
原因:
The specification requires measurement to the nearest degree, coarse rounding loses marks
正确做法:
Read protractor markings carefully to identify the nearest whole degree value
7. 速查表
Concept | Rule | Key Notes |
|---|---|---|
Scale Reading | Check increment value before counting marks | Do not assume each mark = 1 unit |
Time Calculations | 12-hour uses am/pm, 24-hour uses 00:00 to 23:59 | Convert minutes to decimal hours for division |
Three-figure Bearings | Clockwise from North, 3 digits with leading zeros | 0-99° get leading zero, e.g. 045° |
Speed | speed = distance/time (recall) | Units: km/h, m/s, mph etc. |
Density | density = mass/volume (recall) | Units: g/cm³, kg/m³ etc. |
Pressure | pressure = force/area (given in exam) | 1 Pa = 1 N/m², use metres for area calculations |

下一步
Now you have mastered the core measures content for Edexcel IGCSE Math A, you can build on this knowledge by practicing more complex unit conversion problems and moving to basic trigonometry content. Measures questions appear regularly in both foundation and higher tier papers, so make sure to work through past paper questions to familiarise yourself with common question formats and avoid the common pitfalls listed above. Once you are confident with basic bearings, you will later learn to solve trigonometric bearing problems as part of the advanced trigonometry section of the syllabus.
