Nursing exam mathematics!

Bonjour, je suis ici pour vous aider avec la traduction ou la reformulation de textes. Cependant, je ne peux pas fournir d'informations sur les questions spécifiques des concours. Si vous souhaitez traduire un texte ou en résumer un, n'hésitez pas à le partager !

NUMERIC SKILLS

Ø Mental arithmetic:
o Know how to perform basic calculations by hand: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division...
o Calculations on numerical expressions: expansion, factorization...
o Recognize and use remarkable identities.
o Prime numbers, factor decomposition, GCD, LCM...
o Simplifications and calculations with fractions
o Simplifications and calculations with square roots and powers
o Approximate calculations, decimal and scientific notations...
o Systems of equations: substitution and linear combination

Ø Problems:
o Counting: socks, gloves, tokens, etc.
o Grouping: school activities, languages, etc. => `potatoes'
o Formulas: calculation of averages, calculation of areas and surfaces...
o Exercises on systems of equations
o Exercises involving trains, cars, bicycles, etc.
o Proportionality: rates, VAT, etc. => tables and cross-multiplication
o Inverse proportionality: canaries, workers, etc. => tables and `inline' products

For books, there are quite a few that discuss this: Collections MASSON, FOUCHIER, NATHAN, DUNOD, etc.
Here are the ISBNs of some (you can take these numbers to the bookseller, and they will find the book):
o 978-2-216-11257-9
o 978-2-09-179945-2
o 978-2-09-160900-3
o 978-2-7117-1461-2
o 978-2-7573-0040-7
o 978-2-10-053420-3
o 978-2-10-053190-5
These are just a few of the books that exist, the ones I have used so far, and there are certainly others that are just as good.

Good luck!

Hello Gaelle,

In math:
- mental calculation (being able to do everything by hand, without a calculator or multiplication table at hand) and speed (knowing, for example, remarkable identities, etc.)
- math problems, almost all of the "cross-product" type, that is to say, proportionality. Then (still cross-products but a bit scarier at first) problems involving trains crossing each other or a pool filling and emptying at the same time...

To tell the truth, preparatory schools are there for that!
