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.
