Course Outline

Module 1	Introduction to Construction Math
Watch the video and download the materials in this module to be fully prepared for the calculations ahead! You will need a calculator that has a square root function in addition to the normal add/subtract/multiply and divide functions.
Unit 1	Introduction and Handouts
Module 2	Linear Measurements
The basis for accuracy with Construction Math lies with the simplest measurement - the linear measurement. In this module you will learn how to take a correct linear measurement of various shapes and how to determine linear measurements from plans.
Unit 1	Linear Feet
Unit 2	Linear Measurements Quiz
Module 3	Area Calculations
We think of area calculations when we want to understand how large something is such as a room or a house. In this module you will learn to calculate areas such as these, as well as the area of more challenging shapes such as triangles, circles and trapezoids.
Unit 1	Area Defined
Unit 2	Area Quiz
Module 4	Volume Calculations
How much space is there inside a three-dimensional shape? You need to know how to calculate volume to answer this question. In this module you will learn to calculate volume using a range from several easy shapes to some pretty difficult architectural wonders.
Unit 1	Volume
Unit 2	Volume Quiz
Module 5	Special Case Measurements
There are some special cases that require more information or complex formulas to generate the answers to the construction math questions. This module demystifies these elements and walks you through the formulas you need.
Unit 1	Special Cases
Unit 2	Special Case Measurements Quiz
Module 6	Generating Scale Drawings
Use the math and measurement information you have learned to incorporate into generating your own scale drawings. This module will share information on how to create a set of scale drawings and what should be included.
Unit 1	Scale Drawings
Unit 2	Plan Drawings and Measurements
Module 7	Construction Math Final Test
You must achieve 80% or better on this test to pass this course.
Unit 1	Construction Math Exam
Unit 2	Construction Math Feedback
