13. BSI Workshop: Mathematics People are different, but share common fears.

14. BSI Workshop: Mathematics For me, it is scary nurses.

15. BSI Workshop: Mathematics For many students, it is math and more often than not, we just see the RESULTS.

16. BSI Workshop: Mathematics Let’s address both fears. Syringes come in different sizes.

17. BSI Workshop: Mathematics Find ¾ of 80. The basic idea behind finding a fractional part of a quantity is : First find ¼ of the quantity. Then multiply by 3.

18. BSI Workshop: Mathematics Find 5/4 of 80. The concept remains unchanged even if the fraction is improper :

19. BSI Workshop: Mathematics What is 92% of 50? A syringe contains 50 ml of medication of which 92% is saline. How much saline solution is in the syringe? As Determined by the techno-savy student. Percent x Whole = Portion; so 0.92 x 50 = Portion (saline solution) and 0.92 x 50 = 46mlof saline solution.

20. BSI Workshop: Mathematics Mathematical syringes In math, all syringes are proportional.

21. BSI Workshop: Mathematics What is 92% of 50? A syringe contains 50 ml of medication of which 92% is saline. How much saline solution is in the syringe? As Determined by mathematical uniformity. The two are proportional. If the unknown, N, represents the amount of saline solution, then 46mlof saline solution

22. BSI Workshop: Mathematics Sadly,charlie brown understands proportions.

23. BSI Workshop: Mathematics What is 92% of 50? all things are not created equal.

24. BSI Workshop: Mathematics What is 92% of 50? A syringe contains 50 ml of medication of which 92% is saline. How much saline solution is in the syringe? As Determined by the logical visualists. The left side is divided in 100 sections; so divide the right side into 100 sections or 0.50 each, consider 92 sections, totaling 0.50 x 92 equals 46 ml of saline solution.

25. BSI Workshop: Mathematics 48 is What % of 60? A syringe contains 60 ml of medication of which 48 ml is saline. What percent of the syringe is the saline solution? As Determined by the techno-savy student. Percent x Whole = Portion; so Percent = Portion ÷ Whole Percent = 48 ÷ 60 = 0.80 = 80%.

26. BSI Workshop: Mathematics 48 is What % of 60? A syringe contains 60 ml of medication of which 48 ml is saline. What % of the syringe is saline solution? As Determined by mathematical uniformity. If N represents the percentage of saline solution, then 80% saline solution

27. BSI Workshop: Mathematics 48 is What % of 60? A syringe contains 60 ml of medication of which 48 ml is saline. What % of the syringe is saline solution? As Determined by the logical visualists. The right side is divided in 60 sections; so divide the left side into 60 sections of 5/3 each, consider 48 sections, totaling 48 x 5/3 or 80% saline solution.

28. BSI Workshop: Mathematics 96% of What quantity is 60? A syringe contains 60 ml of saline solution which represents 96% of the medication. How much total medication was contained in the syringe? As Determined by the techno-savy student. Percent x Whole = Portion; so 0.96 x Whole = 60, and Whole Amount = 60 ÷ 0.96 = 62.5mlof medication.

29. BSI Workshop: Mathematics 96% of What quantity is 60? A syringe contains 60 ml of saline solution which represents 96% of the medication. How much total medication was contained in the syringe? As Determined by mathematical uniformity. If N represents the amount of total medication in the syringe, then 62.5 ml of solution.

30. BSI Workshop: Mathematics 96% of What quantity is 60? A syringe contains 60 ml of saline solution which represents 96% of the medication. As Determined by the logical visualists. The left side is divided in 96 sections; so divide the right side into 96 sections of 60/96 = 5/8 each. Now consider 100 such sections 100 x 5/8 or 62.5 ml of medication

31. BSI Workshop: Mathematics Techno-savy students are successful if they have number sense.

32. BSI Workshop: Mathematics number sense is also a common trait of successful students who value mathematical uniformity.

33. BSI Workshop: Mathematics Logical visualists have number sense but live in a world focused on auditory sequential learners.

34. BSI Workshop: Mathematics A quantity is 100% of itself. Percentages are a matter of scaling and not comparing. Still, We have to recognize different learning styles.

35. BSI Workshop: Mathematics Entrepreneurs are resourceful, but … Addressing basic skills and demanding analysis and critical thinking while providing support is needed. there is no shortcut for “hard work.”
