Subject: Construction
Grade Level: 9-14
- Math for Carpentry and Construction is designed specifically for carpentry and construction students, allowing them to learn and apply basic math skills in a very relatable context. Each unit begins with an explanation of the basic concept behind each math operation, followed by clear instructions for performing the operation, and a variety of carpentry- and construction-related practice problems to reinforce the concept. This format provides a practical approach to learn important math skills and troubleshooting skills that will be used in carpentry shops and construction sites. A new Appendix, Construction Diagrams and Terms, defines and illustrates key trade terms and components that students may have not yet been exposed to in their carpentry/construction program.
- Includes Understanding Measurement Tools videos and activities to help student learn and practice fundamental measurement skills
- Features material estimating activities to help students calculate accurate materials quantities and create competitive job estimates
- Provides answers to odd-numbered practice problems for self-assessment
