monday morning was in the classroom doing calculations exersises,as well as practicing our maths we were given two tasks to perform
task 1
the sand pad area out the back of the workshopis to be paved.Step 1 was to measure uparea of sand pad. next we measured the areas to be deducted eg. ramp and corner.then we deducted that area from the total area.To give us the total area to be paved,we had to find the area of a paver.It is then divided in to the total to be paved to give us the number of pavers to be ordered for the job.To give us a costing of the pavers we mulitply the number of pavers by the cost of a single paver.
Task 2
The ceiling of the class room is to be replaced and a cornice fitted.The room is measured to find the total area of the ceiling,then deductions worked out.The deductions are then taken of the total area.then the area of asheet of plasterboard is worked out and then divided into the ceiling area to give us the number of sheets needed for the job. round up to nearest sheet.Cost of a sheet is then multiplyed by number of sheets to give us cost of ceiling replacement.
cornice is then worked out byfinding perimeter of ceiling and then divided by lenght of cornice(roundup to nearest full lenght).Once the number of lenghts are found multiply that by the cost of a lenght of cornice to give us cost of materials
The afternoon was spent in workshop completeing the saw stool project.due to silly measuring mistakes was having problems assembling to aviod gaps .remeasured of plans and fixed most problems .
