Designed for educators, trainers, tradespeople, apprentices and people considering construction careers, this Essential Skills workbook offers exercises that students can use to refresh their math skills. The curriculum-based exercises are built around typical construction workplace tasks.

It includes sections on measuring; dimension and area; elevation and grade; problems involving the Pythagorean Theorem; and weight-load estimation. Each section is independent of the others, which means that learners will not need information from one section to solve problems in another.
