Description
This book and its accompanying Teacher's Pack are the result of a project, supported by the Nuffield Foundation, to provide flexible learning
materials for the Basic Application of Number core skill for both the NVQs and GNVQ in construction and the construction crafts.
The
student book uses a unique approach to explain how mathematical principles apply to construction tasks. Each chapter forms an individual
construction project and uses the full range of number skills from the fundamentals of addition and subtraction to statistics, trigonometry
and technical drawing. Successfully completed projects provide the student with the required portfolio of evidence for their course.
Notes throughout the text refer the student to the relevant module in the Teacher's Pack, which contains assessments, tests and detailed
explanations of the number skills needed to complete the projects.
Audience
Further education students of construction; NVQs levels 1-3 (painting and decorating, brickwork, carpentry and joinery, machine woodworking,
plastering). GNVQ (Intermediate and Advanced) construction and the built environment. BTEC National diploma.
