2023 Essential Construction Math (start anytime)

January 1, 2023 12:00 AM - December 31, 2023 12:00 AM (EST)

Description

Essential Construction Math is a self-paced class and is one of several construction basics online courses, which is intended to develop mathematical skills that can be applied to the construction trade through practice and application.

This course is an introduction to other courses in construction. While this class is not a prerequisite for any other classes, it does provide a foundation for them.

The construction math lessons in this course are based on real-world application.

A self paced course can be started at any time. You must complete the course within 10 weeks but you can work through the course as quickly as you like.

There are no weekly goals and no interaction with other students. Please check your inbox to read additional information in your welcome email.

Learning Objectives: 

1.    Use and understand all operations on fractions and decimals that are common to the construction industry

2.    Convert measurements from fractions to decimals

3.    Measure the volume of concrete footings, slabs, walls, and columns

4.    Calculate and measure for basic constructions in wood and concrete

5.    Calculate area, and volume of various shapes

6.    Convert measurements from cubic feet to cubic yards

7.    Calculate board feet


Class Organization & Grading 

For this construction basics online course, it is highly recommended to keep a spiral bound or similar notebook to keep all assignments and notes together. Each week you will be given a lecture, assignment, answers (from the previous assignment) and a quiz to integrate all of your construction math lessons.

The reading and lecture will be designed to aid in the completion of the homework.

While homework will not be checked there will be answers posted each week to self-check your progress. Quizzes will be administered to test the information from the previous assignments. There will also be two projects to complete, one mid-semester and one at the end of this construction basics online course. The projects are applications of mathematics to a construction problem.

Each module should take approximately one week to complete. Course modules will be made available after the previous module’s quiz is complete. You will need to email the instructor to make him aware of your progress and receive the case study quizzes.

Grading Policies

Graded assignments will consist of one quiz for each module, two case studies and a final quiz. Each quiz will count for 10 points. The case studies are each worth 20 points. The final quiz is also worth 20 points.

Grades will be posted on a weekly basis. You will have full access to your grade sheet so you will be able to keep track of how you are doing at all times.

You will be given more information about the grading and other course matters in the Orientation Module.
