In the construction trades, workers must use math day in and day out. Plumbers use math to calculate pipe length, read plans, and lay out fixtures. Carpenters use math to lay out floor systems and frame walls and ceilings. Accurate calculations are needed when determining the placement of solar panels. In some cases, algebra, geometry, and even trigonometry may be required. This module reviews basic mathematical procedures and provides the opportunity to practice mathematical tasks related to construction and solar energy construction activities.

    Various types of construction drawings are used to represent actual components of a building project. The drawings provide specific information about the locations of the parts of a structure, the types of materials to be used, and the correct layout of the building. Knowing the purposes of the different types of drawings and interpreting the drawings correctly are important skills for anyone who works in the construction trades. This module introduces common types of construction drawings, their basic components, standard drawing elements, and measurement tools that are typically used when working with construction drawings.
