Students learn to
read standard and metric rulers, tape measures, and practice using other
measurement equipment used in the construction industry, including a sight
level.
CURRICULUM:
Curriculum is provided in a three-ring binder with pages contained in page
protectors. Easy to follow step by step activities are highlighted using full
color photographs. Once introduced to the history of weights and measurments,
information on units and standards, the student begins a "hands on" experience,
using professional tools of the trade to complete measuring tasks. An audio
tape follows the manual word for word. Pre-and post tests, worksheets,
answersheets, and instructors guide.
